The archaeological amber artefacts from various periods in China provide valuable insights into ancient international trade and cultural interactions. This study investigated several archaeological amber arte- facts (Arc 1–6) from the collection of the Hunan Museum, originating from different historical periods. The examination of the ageing characteristics of the cross-section and weathered surface was carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Pyrolysis- gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) to analyse the functional groups and chemical com- positions. FTIR spectroscopy proved limited information in determining the origin due to natural ageing causing alterations in peak shape/position or signal noise. Py-GC/MS analysis identified the amber arte- facts as succinite and revealed that a set of compounds can serve as markers for identifying the origin. The pyrogram patterns classified the samples into two groups based on the marker content. Py-GC/MS results indicated that hydrolysis is an inevitable degradation process during the burial of succinite. Ad- ditionally, amber went slow oxidation in low-oxygen environments, leading to cyclization and the for- mation of polycyclic structures. This research highlights the ageing characteristics of amber artefacts and demonstrates that Py-GC/MS is an effective way in determining the provenance of significantly degraded samples, providing clues to ancient trade routes and cultural exchanges via the Silk Road.
