DataSet : AROLDatabase (ARchaeology Organic residues Literature Database [AROLD])

Organic residue analysis on archaeological artefacts has been developed over the last thirty years. Since then, international research has addressed many methodological and thematic issues. This young discipline evolving towards the implementation of integrated approaches combining the data acquired in the past and complementary approaches concerning both the molecular structures and the conditions of preservation of archaeological objects. This online database was created to collect and display published data. This bibliographic compilation is intended to facilitate the comparison of data from international research publications, and will facilitate the integration of newly acquired data into ongoing research. The database is not designed to critically review their scientific validity. The authors of the articles are entirely accountable for the published results and interpretations, and the readers are invited to refer to the articles to assess to quality of the data.
