Molecular studies of archaeological remains using a fractionation scheme of organic extracts and mass spectrometric techniques (GC-MS) allow identification of specific biomarkers. Such components are likely to provide information about the type of organic substances present and, more extensively on their history. In this paper, special emphasis has been put on the necessity for precise structural identification to distinguish beeswax and cuticular waxes. The results of the analysis of two unknown residues are also reported : the content of a pilgrim flask (Egypt, XXVI th dynasty, 664-525 BC) and the wall coating of Middle Age undergrounds (Corrèze, France)
