Abstract

Informations on the contents of prehistoric vessels were up to now obtained by occasional findings of residues recognizable by botanists. Recently the application of a method of food analysis, the fat determination, considerably broadened the possibilities, for from almost every potsherd fat can be extracted. Difficulties arise by the decomposition of old fats, which can be overcome by simulations in the laboratory or by extraction of fat from old findings which are determined by the botanist or zoologist.
