TABLE 2. — Details of the total lipid extract (TLE) obtained by solvent extraction from absorbed lipids in sherd fragments ‘T’, charred surface residues adhering to either the internal ‘RI’ or external surface of the sherd ‘RE’, and surface/coating layers (either internal ‘SI’ or external ‘SE’), and individual vessels (combining different samples linked to one vessel) analysed in this study. In bold, total values for the whole sample-set.
