Thank you Todd for your insight.  In case you or anyone is interested in the
book, it's
published by Johns Hopkins University Press, I don't have the URL, but they
do have a
web site.  I saw the book advertised in Archeology Today magazine two months
ago.
And there was a phone # as well as URL there. Looked like they run the ad
continuously,
it didn't look like it was a one time thing. So you might still see the ad
there.
 Full name is "Food in Antiquity, A survey of the Diet of
Early Peoples", authors Don Brothwell and Patricia Brothwell.  ISBN
0-8018-5740-6.
