考古陶器中痕量脂质残留物分析研究进展OA

Organic residues from pottery can provide answers to a variety of archaeological questions about diet,food storage and processing,domestication of animals,etc.,thus contributing to unveiling crucial hints about daily life of the ancient societies.Organic residue analysis utilizes analytical chemical techniques to identify thenature and origins of organic remains that cannot be characterized using traditional techniques of archaeological investigation(because they are either amorphous or invisible).According to the literature,lipid molecules are the most durable and widespread biomarkers in ancient pottery.Although extensive research has been conducted on pottery lipid residues for archaeological interpretation,there has been little effort to characterize and quantify these residues from a rigorous chemical perspective.Accordingly,this article provides an overview of common lipid biomarkers found in archaeological pottery residues.It reviews advances in analytical methodologies,including sampling,extraction,and instrumental detection techniques.Furthermore,it examines potential sources of contamination introduced during analysis and proposes targeted strategies for its mitigation.Finally,this study identifies the limitations of the existing methodologies,and proposes promising avenues for future work.
