Beyond the surface: untangling molecular complexity in organic residue analysis of coated archaeological ceramics Open
Mixed molecular and isotopic signals are readily encountered in organic residue analysis (ORA) of archaeological ceramics, which can impact our ability to identify the contents/use of the vessel. One reason for these mixed signals that is …

Investigating grandmothers’ cooking: A multidisciplinary approach to foodways on an archaeological dump in Lower Casamance, Senegal Open
Because they hold information about cultural identity, foodways have been the focus of a variety of disciplines in archaeology. However, each approach documents different stages of culinary preparation and is constrained by the preservatio…

A medium‐throughput approach for improved taxonomic identification of lipids preserved in ancient pottery Open
Organic residue analysis (ORA) is a valuable tool for the study of ancient diets, but conventional methods remain limited in terms of taxonomic identification or to resolve mixtures. Here, we propose a method to further explore a class of …

The ARchaeological Organic residues Literature Database (AROLD): Construction of a tool for reviewing and querying published lipid data in organic residue analysis Open
The first attempts to identify amorphous organic substances in archaeology date to the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The 1960s saw the development of infrared spectrometry, and then separative and mass spec…

Cuisine in transition? Organic residue analysis of domestic containers from 9th-14th century Sicily Open
From the 9th to 14th centuries AD, Sicily experienced a series of rapid and quite radical changes in political regime, but the impact of these regime changes on the lives of the people that experienced them remains largely elusive within t…

There’s more to a vessel than meets the eye: Organic residue analysis of ‘wine’ containers from shipwrecks and settlements of ancient Cyprus (4th–1st century <span>bce</span> ) Open
Despite growing evidence to the contrary, wine remains the assumed content of many types of ancient pottery. Vessels from the Kyrenia and Mazotos shipwrecks, and Yeronisos island presumed to have contained wine were subjected to three diff…

New insights into early medieval Islamic cuisine: Organic residue analysis of pottery from rural and urban Sicily Open
Sicily, during the 9 th -12 th century AD, thrived politically, economically, and culturally under Islamic political rule and the capital of Palermo stood as a cultural and political centre in the Mediterranean Islamic world. However, to w…

Chemical evidence for the persistence of wine production and trade in Early Medieval Islamic Sicily Open
Significance As a high-value luxury commodity, wine has been transported across the Mediterranean since the Bronze Age. The wine trade was potentially disrupted during political and religious change brought about by Islamization in the Ear…

Investigating the formation and diagnostic value of <i>ω</i> ‐( <i>o</i> ‐alkylphenyl)alkanoic acids in ancient pottery Open
Long‐chain ω ‐( o‐ alkylphenyl)alkanoic acids (APAAs) derived from the heating of unsaturated fatty acids have been widely used for the identification of aquatic products in archaeological ceramic vessels. To date, little attention has bee…

Supplementary information to 'Defining pottery use and exploitation of natural products at Clairvaux XIV during the Middle Neolithic' Open
Investigating pottery function requires optimal preservation of both ceramic vessels and organic residues related to vessel use. If these criteria are met then opportunities emerge for combining macroscopic observations, typological classi…

Is it possible to identify ancient wine production using biomolecular approaches? Open
Chemical analysis of archaeological artefacts is used with increasing regularity to understand how wine was produced, traded, and consumed in the past and to shed light on its antiquity. Based both on an extensive review of the published l…

Leftovers: The presence of manufacture‐derived aquatic lipids in Alaskan pottery Open
Lipids preserved within the walls of ancient pottery vessels are routinely analysed to reveal their original contents. The provenience of aquatic lipids in pottery is generally connected to vessel function (e.g., for cooking or storing fis…

The Missing Step of Pottery chaîne opératoire: Considering Post-firing Treatments on Ceramic Vessels Using Macro- and Microscopic Observation and Molecular Analysis Open
Post-firing treatments, produced by the interaction of an organic material with the hot surface of a ceramic, are frequently described in ethnographic literature, but have rarely been identified in archaeological ceramic assemblages. In or…

Influence of porosity on lipid preservation in the wall of archaeological pottery Open
Porosity of archaeological pottery is a key parameter used to assess its ability to trap lipids during the use of the pot and to preserve them over time. Mercury intrusion porosimetry and gas chromatography were used to study the distribut…
