Abstract

This paper discusses the analysis and occurrence of organic residues in Iron Age II pottery sherds excavated at the site of Jneneh. Gas chromatography – mass spectrometry was used for separation and identification of organic constituents. Conventional solvent extraction and alkaline hydrolysis (saponification) were used for the extraction of residues preserved in their fabrics. Three sherds among six unwashed and unhandled sherds showed significant preservation of organic constituents derived from natural materials. The results provide data on the occurrence of beeswax that could have been intentionally added on the internal surface of a collared-rim jar for storing liquid substances or dry goods. Unintentional occurrence of beeswax as a result of storing honey including beeswax fragments of the honeycomb is also possible. In addition, biomarkers of plant oil were detected in a medium jug and a small jar that might have been used for daily needs, such as food preparation. The absence of significant organic constituents in the other three vessels could be attributed to the degradation overtime during burial.

约旦杰内尼铁器时代陶器中的有机残留物

本文讨论了杰内尼遗址出土的铁器时代陶器碎片中有机残留物的分析和出现情况。采用气相色谱-质谱联用技术对有机成分进行分离鉴定。采用常规的溶剂萃取和碱水解(皂化)法提取织物中保存的残留物。在6个未经清洗和处理的碎片中，有3个碎片显示了来自天然材料的有机成分的显著保存。研究结果提供了蜂蜡发生的数据，蜂蜡可能被故意添加到用于储存液体物质或干货的有圈罐的内表面。由于储存蜂蜜，包括蜂巢的蜂蜡碎片，无意中出现蜂蜡也是可能的。此外，在可能用于日常需求(如食物制备)的中罐和小罐中检测到植物油的生物标志物。其他三个容器中缺乏重要的有机成分可归因于在埋葬过程中随着时间的推移而降解。
