The physicochemical investigation of different archaeological samples are important in exploring the human past. Non-invasive spectroscopic methods, like Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), are useful diagnostic tool, used to identify unknown adhesive substances deposited on artifacts (e.g. vessels, utensils or tools).
