My research interests are lipidomics, lipid residue analysis, stable isotopes, and paleodiet and paleoenvironmental reconstructions.
My PhD Project
My PhD Project
My research revolves around the identification of a cereal-specific biomarker - alkylresorcinol (AR) - in archaeological pottery. Alkylresorcinols are amphiphilic phenolic lipids characterised by a nonpolar odd-numbered alkyl chain attached to a polar resorcinol ring. Recently, they have been recovered from potsherds dating from the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age demonstrating their potential for investigating prehistoric pottery use. Their detection in archaeological contexts is valuable as it can help explain the uptake and spread of cereal processing of past communities in particular regions especially when botanical remains are poorly preserved on archaeological sites or were not adequately collected during excavation. Due to ARs’ inherently low content in cereals and high susceptibility to degradation, their detection becomes difficult resulting in an obvious lack of cereal presence in analysed Neolithic ceramics. The overall aim therefore of my PhD project is to better detect alkylresorcinols in archaeological pottery using a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based protocol.
