“…Micro‐particles, such as starch granules, pollen and phytoliths, may be studied by microscopic observation (e.g., Charters et al, 1993; Crowther, 2005; Henry, 2020), whereas organic molecules, including lipid, wax, cocaine, tartaric acid and oxalate, can only be identified by some chemical techniques, such as gas/liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (e.g., Crown & Hurst, 2009; Dudd et al, 1998; Manzano et al, 2016; Regert et al, 2001; Wang et al, 2016). The composition of inorganic residues usually be tested via infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray fluorescence and electron probe X‐ray microanalysis (e.g., Adriaens et al, 1999).…”
