Keeping plants and animals beyond their natural shelf life is a central human challenge, both as a matter of immediate survival and for the social and economic opportunities that stored foods offer. Understanding different food storage and preservation strategies in the past is key to a whole series of other research agendas, but remains challenging, not least because the evidence is patchy and hard to interpret. The paper below joins growing efforts to address this long-established challenge and surveys a host of changes in preservative treatments and food storage facilities across the Mediterranean and temperate Europe during the 1st millennium BC. While in most cases, the observed changes have a deeper prehistoric pedigree, nevertheless their mutually-reinforcing intensification at this time constitutes a real revolution, with far-reaching consequences.

公元前一千年的存储产品革命

使植物和动物超过其自然保存期限是人类面临的主要挑战，这既涉及立即生存问题，也涉及储存食物所提供的社会和经济机会。过去了解不同的食物存储和保存策略是其他一系列研究议程的关键，但仍然具有挑战性，尤其是因为证据不完整且难以解释。下面的论文致力于应对这一长期存在的挑战，并在公元前一千年前调查了整个地中海和欧洲温带地区防腐剂处理方法和食品存储设施的变化。尽管在大多数情况下，所观察到的变化具有更深的史前血统，但在此时相互增强的力量构成了一场真正的革命，
