Meals for the dead
Accessory vessels, including platters, dishes, beakers, flagons, jars, and amphorae, are a common feature of Romano-British burials, raising questions as to their provenance; for example, were such vessels recycled from the domestic sphere or made specially for funerary purposes? Furthermore, uncertainty surrounds their purpose: did they contain foods for the deceased, possibly for their final journey to the underworld? Interestingly, organic res…
Direct evidence of the use of beehive products in pre‐Roman Sardinia
Written sources and iconographic evidence suggest that honey and beehive products, used in culinary, medicinal, and technological functions since pre‐Neolithic times, were likely known and used in Phoenician and Punic Sardinia. The role of these resources is nonetheless poorly understood because no direct evidence survives on a macroscopic level. Significant advances in the knowledge about beeswax and beehive products processing in the past have …
A call for caution in the analysis of lipids and other small biomolecules from archaeological contexts
Compound-Specific Radiocarbon, Stable Carbon Isotope and Biomarker Analysis of Mixed Marine/Terrestrial Lipids Preserved in Archaeological Pottery Vessels
At archaeological sites located on islands or near the coast, the potential exists for lipid extracts of potsherds to contain fatty acids (FA) from both aquatic and terrestrial organisms, meaning that consideration must be given to marine reservoir effects (MRE) in radiocarbon ( 14 C) analyses. Here we studied the site of Bornais (Outer Hebrides, UK) where a local MRE, ΔR of –65 ± 45 yr was determined through the paired 14 C determinations of ter…
Towards the detection of dietary cereal processing through absorbed lipid biomarkers in archaeological pottery
The uptake of cereal agriculture in the Neolithic is one of the most important processes in later human prehistory. However, in many parts of Europe, early evidence from pollen or macrofossils is scarce or inconclusive, and there are considerable ambiguities about timing, intensity and the mode of transition to agriculture in these regions. An alternative approach is organic residue analysis, a technique that targets lipids preserved in the walls…

Widespread exploitation of the honeybee by early Neolithic farmers
Contrasting Patterns of Resource Exploitation on the Outer Hebrides and Northern Isles of Scotland during the Late Iron Age and Norse Period Revealed through Organic Residues in Pottery
This paper presents the findings from an investigation of organic residues extracted from pottery sherds from Late Iron Age and Norse phases from Bornais, South Uist, and the Late Norse period from Jarlshof on Shetland. These data confirm intensive and/or specialized processing of marine products in pottery on Shetland, either for consumption or other uses, such as rendering of oil from fish livers. In contrast, at Bornais, little increase in the…
What was a mortarium used for? Organic residues and cultural change in Iron Age and Roman Britain
The Romans brought the mortarium to Britain in the first century AD, and there has long been speculation on its actual purpose. Using analysis of the residues trapped in the walls of these 'kitchen blenders' and comparing them with Iron Age and Roman cooking pots, the authors show that it wasn't the diet that changed - just the method of preparing certain products: plants were being ground in the mortarium as well as cooked in the pot. As well as…
