A medium‐throughput approach for improved taxonomic identification of lipids preserved in ancient pottery
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 compounds—triacylglycerols (TAGs)—using high‐resolution mass spectrometry to overcome these limitations in an attempt to better characterise culinary practices. Over 70 medieval Sicilian pots and a wide range of…
High‐resolution compound‐specific δ 15 N isotope dietary study of humans from the Scottish Mesolithic and Neolithic
Numerous isotopic studies of Scottish Mesolithic and Neolithic diets suggest a shift from marine‐based to terrestrial‐based subsistence strategies. However, bulk collagen isotope analysis may overlook low‐level marine food consumption. This study combines bulk collagen stable isotope data from four Neolithic sites (Quanterness, Rattar East, Ness of Brodgar, and Knap of Howar) with nitrogen compound‐specific isotope analysis (CSIA‐AA) from one Lat…
Evaluating the culinary significance of maize in the Araucanía, Southern Chile
Culinary continuity in central Japan across the transition to agriculture
Rice and millet arrived in Western Japan from Korea around 3,000 years ago and spread eastwards across the archipelago in the next 700 years. However, the extent to which agriculture transformed traditional Jōmon hunter-gatherer-fisher communities is debated. Central Japan is a key area of study as remodelling of radiocarbon dates shows a slowdown in the dispersal rate of rice agriculture in this area. Here, we examine and compare the use of pott…
Unraveling Island Economies through Organic Residue Analysis
Biophysical conditions played a fundamental role in early human colonization of insular territories, particularly in food-producing societies dealing with limited resources and the challenges of maintaining a sustainable carrying capacity. Studies on past human colonization of small oceanic islands thus offer insights into economic plasticity, ecological impacts, and adaptation of early food-producing groups. On the coast of southern Chile, early…
The role of salmon fishing in the adoption of pottery technology in subarctic Alaska
Ceramic technology makes an abrupt appearance in the New World Arctic at circa 2800 cal BP. While there is general consensus that the ultimate source of these Alaskan pottery traditions lay in continental NE Asia, the motivations for the adoption of pottery in Alaska have remained unclear. Through organic residue analysis we investigated the function of Norton pottery in Southwest Alaska, and the extent to which its function changed in later peri…
The transmission of pottery technology among prehistoric European hunter-gatherers
Human history has been shaped by global dispersals of technologies, although understanding of what enabled these processes is limited. Here, we explore the behavioural mechanisms that led to the emergence of pottery among hunter-gatherer communities in Europe during the mid-Holocene. Through radiocarbon dating, we propose this dispersal occurred at a far faster rate than previously thought. Chemical characterization of organic residues shows that…
Cooking for the Living and the Dead
This paper is intended as a contribution to the understanding of Late Iron Age food consumption patterns and dietary preferences along the lower course of the River Daugava. The multidisciplinary study analysed the ceramic vessels from the 11thâ 13th century RauÅ¡i settlement and cemetery. We used lipid residue analysis employing GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry), GC-C-IRMS (gas-chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry…
