Food ingredients which were prepared or stored in the archeological ceramics are the most frequently used in the study of ceramic vessels with the use of various types of gas chromatographic methods. These include lipids which contain fatty acids and compounds characteristic of various types of food known as archeological biomarkers. The paper shows how the lipid profile analysis and its interpretation can be helpful to explain the source of organic substances preserved in archeological ceramic vessels. The presence of characteristic sterols discriminates between plant (phytosterols) and animal (zoosterols) residues. Based on the calculated proportions of selected fatty acids, the animal residues can be precisely identified as originating from fish, ruminants or monogastric animals. Many authors have created their own methods of interpretation and conclusion, which makes it possible to sort out all the information gathered about the historical purpose of clay vessels. Due to the fact that the presented research still raises some doubts and questions, it is important for the interpretation of the results of chemical analysis to be considered in the archeological context. The ability to properly explain the meaning of the results of analyses is crucial for a better understanding of the life and customs of our ancestors.

陶瓷中有机残留物的分析解释，作为关于我们祖先知识的来源。

在陶瓷器皿的研究中，使用各种类型的气相色谱方法，最常使用在考古陶瓷中制备或存储的食品成分。这些物质包括含有脂肪酸的脂质和各种被称为考古生物标记物的食物所特有的化合物。本文展示了脂质谱分析及其解释如何有助于解释考古陶瓷器皿中保存的有机物质的来源。特征性固醇的存在可区分植物（植物固醇）和动物（动物固醇）残基。根据所选脂肪酸的计算比例，可以将动物残留物精确地识别为源自鱼类，反刍动物或单胃动物。许多作者创造了他们自己的解释和结论方法，这使整理收集到的有关粘土器皿历史用途的所有信息成为可能。由于目前的研究仍存在一些疑问和问题，因此在考古背景下考虑化学分析结果的解释非常重要。正确解释分析结果含义的能力对于更好地了解我们祖先的生活和习俗至关重要。重要的是要在考古背景下考虑化学分析结果的解释。正确解释分析结果含义的能力对于更好地了解我们祖先的生活和习俗至关重要。重要的是要在考古背景下考虑化学分析结果的解释。正确解释分析结果含义的能力对于更好地了解我们祖先的生活和习俗至关重要。
