抽象。在意大利的罗马城庞贝城，两座房屋的破坏程度低于公元79年，其中包括筛分和浮选程序，以恢复生物遗骸。除了通常发现的烧焦的植物材料和代表作物加工或食物垃圾的骨头，以及污水中的矿化残留物外，还有许多焚烧的祭品。其中许多都有石松的果核和种子，无花果和葡萄等水果，核桃和榛子等坚果。一些祭品含有烧焦的骨头，公鸡（雄性家禽）的头和脚特别有代表性。随着时间的推移，用于燔祭的植物和动物也发生了一些变化。这些祭品可能与文学资料中描述的家庭崇拜有关，并在庞贝壁画中描绘为拉里斯（家庭神）神殿祭坛上的祭品。燔祭的结果是通过炭化水果来保存，这些水果在加工过程中通常不会燃烧。他们还提出了一个埋藏学问题，因为从燔祭中重新加工的烧焦材料很可能是遗址其他烧焦组合的主要组成部分。
Abstract. Excavations below the A.D. 79 destruction levels in two houses at the Roman town of Pompeii, Italy included programmes of sieving and flotation for the recovery of biological remains. In addition to the usual finds of charred plant material and bones representing crop processing or food waste, and mineralised remains from sewage, were numerous burnt offerings. Cones and seeds of stone pine, fruit such as fig and grape and nuts such as walnut and hazel were present in many of them. Some of the offerings contained burnt bone, with the heads and feet of cocks (male domestic fowl) being particularly well represented. There was some change in the plants and animals used for the burnt offerings with time. These offerings could be related to domestic worship described in literary sources and depicted as offerings on altars in Pompeiian wall paintings at shrines to the Lares (household gods). The burnt offerings resulted in the preservation by charring of fruit that are not usually burnt during their processing for consumption. They also presented a taphonomic problem because re-worked charred material from burnt offerings was likely to have been a major component of other charred assemblages from the sites.
