This Element provides a concise account of the archaeology of salt production in ancient Europe. It describes what salt is, where it is found, what it is used for, and its importance for human and animal health. The different periods of the past in which it was produced are described, from earliest times down to the medieval period. Attention is paid to the abundant literary sources that inform us about salt in the Greek and Roman world, as well as the likely locations of production in the Mediterranean and beyond. The economic and social importance of salt in human societies means that salt has served as a crucial aspect of trade and exchange over the centuries, and potentially as a means of individuals and societies achieving wealth and status.

This book includes evaluation of the economics of salt production and trade from analyses of the spatial patterning of wooden buildings and associated artifacts that were mapped on the sea floor at the Paynes Creek Salt Works. The book describes the discovery and mapping of the wooden architecture as well as the associated pottery and other artifacts on the surface and embedded in the sea floor during a systematic search for salt production in a large, salt-water lagoon system, Punta Ycacos Lagoon, in southern Belize.

Concerns have grown that consumption levels of salt are well above those needed for nutritional purposes and that this can lead to adverse effects on health, in particular cardiovascular disease. Consumers are increasingly looking to reduce their salt intake, making salt reduction a priority for food manufacturers. This is not straightforward, though, as salt plays an important role in food preservation, taste and processability. Written by a team of international experts, Reducing salt in foods provides a unique review of current knowledge in this field.This book is divided into three

Le 4e de couverture indique :"Le sel, généreusement dispensé par la nature, a joué un rôle fondamental dans les diverses cultures humaines. Indispensable aux êtres vivants, présent dans chaque foyer, il donne saveur aux aliments, permet de les conserver et joue un rôle biologique important dans l'équilibre d'un organisme. Consommé par tous quotidiennement, on lui accorde également une valeur rituelle et symbolique, voire un pouvoir magique. Produit unique et abondant, il est néanmoins souvent caché, enfoui dans le sol ou bien en dissolution dans la mer. Les hommes ont donc fait preuve, depuis les temps préhistoriques, de beaucoup d'ingéniosité à l'extraire. Comment le sel est-il produit? Où le trouve-t-on? Comment s'échange-t-on cette denrée? Qui en tire le meilleur profit? En dix chapitres, dix études qui peuvent se lire séparément les unes des autres, le livre répond à ces questions. On découvrira la peine des esclaves et des forçats dans les bagnes du sel, le partage des revenus au détriment des sauniers, la construction d'une saline fortifiée aux portes de la Camargue, les efforts des Suisses longtemps démunis pour faire venir le précieux minéral, l'entrée du sel dans l'économie mondialisée dès la fin du Moyen Âge, les flottes des puissances maritimes du nord de l'Europe qui traversent l'Atlantique à la recherche de ce produit stratégique, l'instauration de la gabelle dans un grand nombre d'États, etc. Grand produit agricole, minier, industriel et commercial, le sel est entré précocement dans la révolution industrielle, il a ensuite ouvert les voies de la mondialisation, accompagnant une fois de plus une grande mutation de l'économie-monde et ce, bien avant la fin du XXe siècle."
