Abstract: | This manuscript describes the analysis of the
organic contents of Early Empire ceramics from Beja’s
Castle.
A combination of extraction procedures was used
in order to extract the highest number of compounds
from the studied ceramics. Pinaceae resin biomarkers
were identified in all the ceramics, confirming the
widely use of these resins by the Romans. Both animal
and plant steroids were identified in the samples,
and Δ5-avenasterol, found in all the samples, is of
particular significance, as it can be used as a marker
for oil seed crops and olive oil. |
