亚美尼亚东南部Areni-1洞穴群的考古发掘揭示了公元前4000年左右的装置和文物，这些装置和文物强烈表明了葡萄酒的生产。这一假说的化学证据在这里提出使用一种新的方法来检测花青素锦葵素，使葡萄和石榴红颜色。采用固相萃取（SPE）和碱处理样品，然后采用液相色谱-串联质谱（LC-MS/MS）联用技术，对来自亚美尼亚和叙利亚的4个古陶片和真品样品进行分析。从Areni-1洞穴复合体中的两个样本中观察到了阳性结果，增加了支持葡萄酒在铜石时代晚期在近东部高地生产的假设的证据。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Archaeological excavations in the Areni-1 cave complex in southeastern Armenia revealed installations and artifacts dating to around 4000 cal. BCE that are strongly indicative of wine production. Chemical evidence for this hypothesis is presented here using a new method to detect the anthocyanin malvidin that gives grapes and pomegranates their red color. Using solid phase extraction (SPE) and alkaline treatment of the samples, followed by combined liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), this method was applied to authentic standards and four ancient potsherds from Armenia and Syria. A positive result was observed for two of the samples from the Areni-1 cave complex, adding evidence supporting the hypothesis that wine was produced in the Near Eastern highlands in the Late Chalcolithic Period.
