使用现代分析化学方法对考古陶器中的有机残留物进行调查始于20世纪70年代。人们很早就认识到，分析保存在表面残留物或单个陶片（代表单个容器）的结构中的脂质（即脂肪、蜡和树脂）是确定陶器用途的一种强有力的方法，具有高度的特异性。随后的发展在规模上发生了重大变化，研究通常涉及对每个考古组合数十到数百个陶片的脂质分析，提供的信息超出了陶器的使用范围。通过对罐中加工的动植物食品的识别，可以深入了解畜牧业和农业，还可以发现外来有机商品的贸易。有关环境和气候的信息可以从陶片中检测到的化合物的同位素组成中推断出来，这可能提供新的调查途径。陶片中脂质的直接测年为建立考古年表开辟了新的机会，而脂质残留分析与跨学科项目中的其他环境和文化代理的整合已经为过去的生活方式提供了前所未有的见解，从现场到区域规模。
The investigation of organic residues associated with archaeological pottery using modern analytical chemical methods began in the 1970s. It was recognised early on that the analysis of lipids (i.e. fats, waxes and resins) preserved in surface residues or the fabric of single potsherds, representative of single vessels, was a powerful method for ascertaining pottery use, with a high degree of specificity. Subsequent developments saw a significant change in scale, with studies often involving lipid analyses of tens to hundreds of potsherds per archaeological assemblage, providing information that extended beyond pottery use. The identification of animal and plant foodstuffs processed in pots provides insights into herding and farming, and can also detect trade in exotic organic goods. Information about the environment and climate can be extrapolated from the isotopic composition of compounds detected in potsherds, potentially providing novel avenues of investigation. The direct dating of lipids in potsherds is opening up new opportunities for building archaeological chronologies, while the integration of lipid residue analyses with other environmental and cultural proxies within interdisciplinary projects is already providing unprecedented insights into past lifestyles, from site to regional scales.
