Abstract

Natural resins have been employed since the prehistory as an adhesive in the manufacturing processes and operative chains of several tool. For this study several type of natural resins in different preservation condition were collected or acquired to be analysed by GC-MS to create a specific reference data base to identify organic compounds in archaeological materials. The analytical approach employed to build the data base is defined and the quality assurance and quality control results are described. The results obtained show the reliability and strength of the developed method.
