Abstract
Organic residue analysis of potshards excavated from the Iron Age archaeological site of Kani‐zirin, western Iran, was achieved with acidified methanol extraction and gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). The GC‐MS data showed plant and animal commodities incorporated in the shards. Also, the investigations confirmed the presence of plant resin together with a tartrate ion within a group of the shards, suggesting a probable use of grape‐related products. Evidence of resins from the Pinaceae family, as an exotic species in Iran, was evinced in several of the shards.
