“…Eerkens and co-workers [ 68 ] stated that when this ratio exceeds 0.04, the organic residue may derive from ruminant fats. Last but not least, a C 17:0 branched/C 18:0 ratio was suggested by some authors [ 42 , 72 , 73 ] as archaeological biomarkers in order to identify organic residues coming from monogastric animal and ruminant fats.…”

Lipids in Archaeological Pottery: A Review on Their Sampling and Extraction Techniques

Several studies have been performed so far for the effective recovery, detection and quantification of specific compounds and their degradation products in archaeological materials. According to the literature, lipid molecules are the most durable and widespread biomarkers in ancient pottery. Artificial ageing studies to simulate lipid alterations over time have been reported. In this review, specific lipid archaeological biomarkers and well-established sampling and extraction methodologies are discussed. Although suitable analytical techniques have unraveled archaeological questions, some issues remain open such as the need to introduce innovative and miniaturized protocols to avoid extractions with organic solvents, which are often laborious and non-environmentally friendly.

“…For ceramics, one solution to minimise environmental contamination is to remove its outermost portion prior to further preparation for instrumental analysis. 3,10,[49][50][51] Unfortunately, this is not ideal for stone artefacts because the residues may be adsorbed or adhered onto their surfaces. Any modification that alters the topography of the artefact surface also prevents any post-extraction analysis of any potential microscopic wear patterns.…”

“…Among other branched-chain fatty acids frequently observed in archaeological pottery are the odd-numbered C15:0 br and C17:0 br. Experimental work has been carried out with a range of animal-derived products to establish a link between the ratio of C17:0 br and C18:0, tentatively allowing terrestrial ruminant and dairy products to be distinguished in ancient pottery (Dudd et al, 1999;Hjulström et al, 2008). However, the ratios of different compounds, such as fatty acids, may be increasingly susceptible to alterations during decomposition and therefore they should commonly be regarded as complementary diagnostic tools in organic residue analysis.…”

In this thesis, organic residues preserved in ancient pottery are used to reconstruct diversity and change in the foodways of Late Holocene hunter-gatherer communities in coastal northern Hokkaido (1750 BCE-1250 CE). The Late Holocene period of this region is very dynamic, and characterised by numerous migrations and cultural replacements. The research into these processes has generally focused on typological variation in pottery, which is a device each of the period's different cultures made widespread use of. This thesis takes a novel approach, and uses pottery residue analysis to investigate long-term patterns of continuity and change in cooking practices, employing the concept of cuisine to interpret the results. In particular, the Okhotsk Cultures (400-1100 CE) form a central focus of the thesis, and their complex animal cosmology, diverse subsistence and multifaceted household activities offer a rich context in which to examine changing foodways. The primary goal is understanding long-term and "macro-scale" patterns of continuity and change, and this also requires improving existing chronological frameworks, which largely rely on pottery typologies rather than radiocarbon dating. Refining and improving existing chronologies therefore forms the second goal of the thesis. The third goal is to examine foodways at a more contextual "micro-scale". This involves studying how pottery use was organised within the domestic space of a single Okhotsk Culture long-house, and how these practices were informed by social relations and the cosmology of human-animal interactions. The present thesis consists of an extended introduction, which sets the research in a wider regional and culture-historical setting, and also presents the main methods, concepts and approaches. The central research question is whether the close association between use of pottery and the processing of aquatic resources, which was established by the Early Holocene, does in fact persist into these Late Holocene cultures. The core of the thesis tackles this question by presenting five journal articles, which focus on the archaeological sites of Hamanaka 2, Kafukai 1 and 2, and Menashidomari. The overall results indicate that this older pattern was starting to break down, and that a range of new and more diverse cooking practices was emerging. The thesis also demonstrates that these important shifts in cuisine can also be tied into much higher-resolution chronological frameworks using new methods and approaches. Finally, the "micro-scale" analysis of container function within a single household suggests that some sort of symbolic distinction was made between different sources of foods.
