This volume comprises many of the papers presented at the 67th Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale in July 2021 in Turin. Due to pandemic restrictions the participants of the conference could not meet in person. The encompassing topic "Eating and Drinking in the Ancient Near East" is broad and declinable under different perspectives. Key lectures (1) have been delivered by Cecile Michel on "Gender Aspects in Food and Drink Preparation" and by Theo van den Hout on "Hittite Foodways: The King as the Provider of his People". Subsequent lectures grouped around the following sections: (2) Food Production, (3) Resource Management, (4) Rituality, Banquet and Commensality, (5) Medicine and Literature, (6) Philological and Archaeological Researches, (7) Varia. The lections feature both philological as well as archaeological topics, presenting new insights into well-known texts as well as hitherto unpublished material. Among others Paola Paoletti examines "Butter and Cheese Production in the Third Millennium BCE Babylonia", Juliette Mas "Funerary Drinking Vessels in Early and Middle Bronze Age Upper Mesopotamian Burials", while Ludovico Portuese pursues "The Assyrian Royal Banquet", and Jan Tavernier "The Use of Eggs in Mesopotamian Medicine and beyond", to list just a few of the 35 articles.
