<br/><br/> Certain kinds of food can be classes as "Luxurious" because they are difficult to procure and reserved for the élite - but luxury foods can be more surely defined from their context of use. Using examples from andean archaeology the author shows how different foodstuffs perform ceremonial roles in different sectors of society. Many ordinary people use them to feed the ancestors, while the élite may put significance on a variety consumables, including human blood.
