Ten geological samples (five from each source-Romanian amber and Baltic amber) in duplicate for five different media (air, water, saline, acid and basic) were subjected to thermal alteration at 80 1 2°C for 12 weeks, in the dark. The samples were analysed before and after the accelerated alteration experiment by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, both in transmittance and reflectance mode, and the acquired spectra were statistically processed by multivariate data analysis, mainly using principal component analysis. The results of the experiment are useful in giving a better picture of how to discriminate between archaeological amber artefacts.

“…As a hint for the archaeological output, in order to rationalize on the importance of nondestructive analysis, it should be mentioned that the quantity and quality of amber artefacts from Romania is lower than those found in territories placed on the track of the so-called Amber Route (Teodor ES et al, 2010). Nevertheless, from our studies, the Baltic amber is encountered very early, in Neolithic, i.e.…”

“…In our studies two types of amber have been investigated: artefacts from the largest amber deposit discovered in Romania, in Cioclovina cave (over 3000 beads, most of them in amber) (Teodor ES et al, 2010) and artefacts from Roman Age; discovered in cemeteries dug systematically, for instance in Tomis, Callatis, Beroe, or Carsium cemeteries (Vîrgolici et al 2010b). …”

Fossilized resin, or amber, has been examined from 120 worldwide sources by 1D and 2D proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in solution. These spectra fall into five categories, corresponding to the classes already established by mass spectrometry and carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The wide availability of this technique provides a straightforward method to classify amber rapidly and inexpensively.
