Wine before Greeks: the contribution of the organic chemistry analysis

Del Mastro B., Brun J.-P. , Munzi P., Garnier N.
Abstract:
In this occasion we'd like to point out the value of the results obtained by chemical analysis combined to bioarchaeological and traditional archaeological methods in order to determine the organic content of vessels and their implication in funerary ritual. Furthermore, through identification and contextualization of food and drink remains trapped in funerary sets belonging to four tombs of the indigenous necropolis of Cuma (Napoli) dated to the Iron Age, the research has led to the recognition of functional categories of proto-historical pottery.
