MASCA
Vol. 11: Lost Scents
Investigations
of Corinthian “Plastic” Vases by Gas Chromatography-Mass
Spectrometry
William
R. Biers , Klaus O. Gerhardt, and Rebecca A. Braniff
“Plastic”
vases, or small vases molded in the shape of animals, mythological
creatures, or human busts and body parts, dating from the 7th
and 6th centuries b.c. have been found throughout the Mediterranean.
Scholars assumed that these held ancient perfumes,. Researchers
at the University of Missouri-Columbia used gas chromatography
linked with mass spectrometry to analyze 24 vases to determine
their original contents. This publication provides the archaeological
and historical background, and summarizes the findings of their
investigation. |
