Smellscapes' have become an increasingly popular concept in recent years. Here, the authors argue for a new direction in sensorial archaeology by focusing on the 'smell of things' or the potential information held in the odours of archaeological objects. They offer a case study using early modern earthenware ceramics from Portugal-renowned for the distinctive smell and taste imparted to their contents-to explore the possibility of developing standardised analytical techniques and vocabularies that would allow archaeologists to describe the odours associated with artefacts
