I recently had one of these. Reviewer complained about lots of trivial things, for example the way we named the samples (sampling code) etc. 🙄

Cover des Bandes "Scents of Arabia. Interdisciplinary Approaches to Ancient Olfactory Worlds", herausgegeben von Arnulf Hausleiter und Barbara Huber. Auf dem hellen Cover sind im Hintergrund angedeutete Dunstschleier in gesetzten Rot- und Brauntönen zu erkennen.
👃 Wie roch die Vergangenheit?
Ein interdisziplinäres Forschungsprojekt nimmt uns mit einer neuen Publikation (hrsg. von A. Hausleiter & @barahuber.bsky.social) zu #Duftstoffen u.a. aus der Oase #Tayma im Nordwesten #SaudiArabiens mit in die Welt antiker #Düfte.

Book cover for Scents of Arabia: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Ancient Olfactory Worlds
Interested in the kinds of information archaeologists can gain from metabolic profiling? Check out this wonderful new book and our chapter on the ancient oasis of Tayma.
This work builds on our 2022 paper on reconstructing ancient scents in Nature Human Behaviour: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is figure 2, which shows alkaloids in archeological residues linked to Peganum harmala and its psychoactive and therapeutic properties.
Metabolic profiling of Iron Age residues from the oasis of Qurayyah reveals the earliest material evidence for the fumigation of the drug plant Peganum harmala, used for medicinal and hygienic purposes, according to a paper in Communications Biology. go.nature.com/3HhFV6D 🏺 🧪

Same here! I only knew Syrian rue as a stubborn weed until I saw its seeds burned for the first time a few years ago in Iran – such a striking smell.

Paper alert, @nature.com. Our study reveals 8 million years of #GreenArabia. We document environmental variability - ranging over the entire course of human evolution. Arabia is a key bridge at the cross-roads of continents. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
