Abstract:

Gunshot residue (GSR) is a complex chemical mixture that is created during the discharge of a firearm. Its detection and interpretation play a crucial role in the investigation of firearm incidents. Current GSR analysis is limited to inorganic GSR (IGSR), however, the evidential value could be strengthened by inclusion of organic GSR (OGSR). The present study aims to address this potential by proposing a categorisation system for relevant OGSR compounds and developing a methodology for the collection, extraction and analysis of both organic and inorganic GSR from a single sample.

Abstract:

The mortarium, a shallow, spouted, gritted dish, is an entirely novel and widely-used vessel in Roman Britain. This vessel is traditionally envisaged as a material manifestation the transition to 'Roman' food preparation techniques and hence, changing cultural identity and behaviour. However, the high prevalence of mortaria at some rural s sites. which display evidence for cultural continuity from the Iron Age in other aspects, suggests that the mortarium may also have been appropriated to fulfil pre-existing criteria.

Abstract:

The villa of São Cucufate (Vidigueira, southern Alentejo, Portugal) was an agricultural center with Roman occupation from the 1st century AD. For the analysis of organic residues and lead (Pb) content in amphorae sherd from this archaeological site, Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and Laser ablation inductively coupled with plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) were applied. GC-MS enabled to identify long chained alkanes, palmitic, stearic, pimaric, isopimaric and abietic acids. The presence of diterpenoids yielded evidence that the amphorae were waterproofed with resi

Abstract:

This dissertation will focus on the extraction of volatile organic compounds associated with gunshot residue from articles of clothing, followed by analysis with mass spectrometry. During the discharge of a weapon, a cloud of volatile organic gunshot residue (OGSR) is dispersed around a firearm. This will create a high probability of transfer between the OGSR and the clothing of individuals who are near a discharged weapon. The first part of this dissertation will be the development of a method for removal of volatile OGSR from articles of clothing. Extraction of OGSR will be completed by soli

Abstract:

This research was undertaken to investigate the extent and nature of absorbed organic residues preserved in British Early Bronze Age pottery. Previous work on prehistoric vessels has shown a good preservation of various lipid classes however the focus of the research was predominantly domestic pottery. The Early Bronze Age was chosen as the main chronological focus due to several crucial developments occurring in the Late Neolithic Early Bronze Age transition, including a more sedentary lifestyle, adoption of individual burials and new practices of ritually depositing pottery together with the

Red Lustrous Wheelmade Ware (RLWm ware) transport and storage vessels have been excavated from Late Bronze Age (LBA) sites across the eastern Mediterranean.

Seventy-three sherds (61 RLWm ware, 12 in local fabrics) and two visible residues were analysed for organic residues using standard lipid extraction techniques. Seven residues from a previous study were re-examined. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry identified four materials - beeswax, bitumen, fat/oil and resin. Beeswax, found only in v

Abstract:

This thesis is a pilot study, designed to test and develop methods suitable for the study of Scandinavian flint spearhead functionality. The functionality of projectile and lithic point armament has not been studied for almost 30 years in Scandinavia. Meanwhile, methods used to analyse lithic projectiles have developed considerably. However, few of these methods are precise enough to be used in conjunction with Scandinavian stone technological analyses that emphasize the societal aspect of lithic points. Consequently, two methods were chosen that could provide data for Scandinavian research is

Abstract:

Amphorae were used during antiquity for the inter-regional transport of different classes of commodities. The study of these vessels has formed a significant aspect in understanding inter-regional trade dynamics. The places of production and the distribution of many classes of amphorae have been extensively studied; however, the content of many classes of amphorae has not been ascertained. The focus of this thesis is to examine six types of Black Sea amphorae that have not been previously studied with respect to content in order to determine the types of commodities they were used to transport

The goal of this project was to develop a rapid separation and detection method for analyzing organic compounds in smokeless powders and then test its applicability on gunshot residue (GSR) samples. In this project, a total of 20 common smokeless powder additives and their decomposition products were separated by ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and confirmed by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) using multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM). Some of the targeted compounds included diphenylamines, centralites, nitrotoluenes, nitroglycerin, and various phthalates. The compounds were

Improvised explosives may be based on smokeless gunpowder, fertilizers, or inorganic oxidizers such as nitrate (NO3-), chlorate (ClO3-), and perchlorate (ClO4-) salts. Identification is a priority for the military and law enforcement but due to their varying physical properties and complexity, identification can be challenging. Consequently, three methods have been developed to aid in presumptive and confirmatory detection. Smokeless powder contains plasticizers, stabilizers, dyes, opacifiers, flash suppressants, and other compounds. Identification of these additives can narrow down or identif

Abstract:

Analysis of organic residue absorbed in to the walls of ceramic vessels has proved to be a valuable contributor to the knowledge of prehistoric societies. Based on the analysis of absorbed lipids in the wall of ceramic vessels and existing knowledge and theories about the Pitted Ware culture, an attempt of understanding of the Pitted Ware site Vendel is made. Based on the obtained results and evidences presented throughout the paper it is argued that the Vendel site is a permanent or seasonal settlement, and furthermore that the results seem to reflect a change in vessel use towards the end of

Abstract:

Although millions remain in situ, many were removed and have ultimately entered museum collections around the world. There they have often languished as uncomfortable reminders of antiquarian practices with little information available to enhance their value as artefacts worthy of conservation or display.

The authors use a combination of lipid biomarker and bulk and single-compound carbon isotope analysis to indicate the origin of the residues in these vessels.

Yet, despite more than a century of research, there is little consensus on the speed or completeness of this fundamental change and, consequently, on its principal drivers.
