This is a poorly divulged theme, traditionally supported by classical sources that sometimes specify the contents of some objects, namely of amphorae. One of the ways found to gather more information has been the association with other scientific areas, as chemistry and biology and with the help of these sciences, the trace remains conserved in archaeological artefacts have been identified. These themes have been approached by several research teams throughout the last few years. Unfortunately, until very recently in Portugal little work has been done on these fields, making almost impossible the recollection and analysis of this type of data by archaeologists. The idea of publishing this book arose during the ArchaeoAnalytics meeting that took place in Esposende in September 2014, where both foreign and Portuguese researchers have joint to publicize and divulge these work methods ina archaeology. This book collects the contribution of different researchers that have attended the meeting and presented the major breakthroughs made by the collective projects they have been involved in. The research works here presented are grouped in three main themes. The first group gathers contributions mainly focused on General Problematics and Results, while the second and third parts are directed to Case Studies. More specifically, the second part consists of papers engaged on the use of Chromatographic Techniques in Archaeological Studies, whereas on the third part are collected research works on DNA and Archaeozoological Studies in Archaeology.

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. This will shed light on the nature of export production from several key Black Sea sites. In order to achieve this, vessel samples will by analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) using both established techniques as well as developing new methods of analyis that may assist in the continuing research in inter-regional trade during antiquity.</p

As steatite is not a material available locally in Lebanon or the surrounding coastal Levant, these beads indicate long-distance material, and probably technological, exchange. This analysis is the first such study undertaken for Lebanese material, and therefore offers an important opportunity for discussion and comparison with other regional studies.

These are the first such beads to be studied from Lebanon.One bead was made of quartz-based faience or frit.These beads indicate long-distance exchange of material and most likely technology between Lebanon and its neighbors, supplementing our understanding of those relationships during this time.Seven Early Bronze Age small stone beads have been recovered from Tell Fadous-Kfarabida in northern Lebanon, six of which have been identified as fired steatite (synthetic enstatite) via SEM/EDX and XRD analysis.
