In addition to GC/MS, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC/MS) has been used to analyse natural resins in ancient samples, particularly for paint varnishes containing mastic and dammar resins [34]. A partial limitation of chromatographic techniques is that they do not permit the analysis of the polymeric fraction or insoluble fraction that may be present in the native resins or formed in the course of ageing. Techniques based on the direct introduction of the sample in the mass spectrometer such as direct temperature resolved mass spectrometry (DTMS), direct exposure mass spectrometry (DE-MS) and direct inlet mass spectrometry (DI-MS), and on analytical pyrolysis (Py-GC/MS), have been employed as complementary techniques to obtain preliminary information on the...

This review provides an up-to-date overview of the application of analytical procedures based on MS for the characterization of organic natural materials in archaeological and historical objects. Applications that feature the use of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), Py-GC/MS, high performance liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS), and direct MS analysis such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and direct exposure mass spectrometry (DE-MS) are sununarized to highlight the different information provided by each of the various analytical approaches. Case studies and examples are also presented and include a description of the molecular markers and of the molecular profiles that are used to identify the original materials. [Pg.798]
