Аннотация: The investigation of organic residues associated with archaeological pottery using modern analytical chemical methods began in the 1970s. It was recognised early on that the analysis of lipids (i.e. fats, waxes and resins) preserved in surface residues or the fabric of single potsherds, representative of single vessels, was a powerful method for ascertaining pottery use, with a high degree of specificity. Subsequent developments saw a significant change in scale, with studies often involving lipid analyses of tens to hundreds of potsherds per archaeological assemblage, providing information that extended beyond pottery use. The identification of animal and plant foodstuffs processed in pots provides insights into herding and farming, and can also detect trade in exotic organic goods. Information about the environment and climate can be extrapolated from the isotopic composition of compounds detected in potsherds, potentially providing novel avenues of investigation. The direct dating of lipids in potsherds is opening up new opportunities for building archaeological chronologies, while the integration of lipid residue analyses with other environmental and cultural proxies within interdisciplinary projects is already providing unprecedented insights into past lifestyles, from site to regional scales.
