Neolithic pottery and the biomolecular archaeology of lipids

Mihael Budja
2014 Documenta Praehistorica  
In this paper, we present archaeological and biochemical approaches to organic food residues, the lipids that are well preserved in ceramic matrices on prehistoric vessels. The 'archaeo- logical biomarker revolution' concept is discussed in relation to pottery use, animal exploitation and the evolution of dietary practices in prehistory.
