Investigations by Ft-Ir Spectroscopy on Residues in Pottery Cosmetic Vases from Archaeological Sites in the Mediterranean Basin

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: The present study was aimed at investigating, by FT-IR spectroscopy, residues in some whole archaeological vases, different in form and dimensions, but all classified as containers for cosmetics. The analyses performed on the as-sampled material and after extraction with a solvent were examined and compared. The results highlighted dissimilar composition of the residues for containers different in shape and provenance. Lipids, vegetable resins, and proteinaceous compound were identified.
