Mass Spectrometry Imaging in Archaeobotany: An Illustration Through Analytical Characterisation of Sesame Lignans
Botanical biomarker distribution traits were studied for the first time in archaeobotany. The MSI created a visualised colour plot with localised compound distributions, in which archaeologists can visually aid their study of plant use in antiquity. This, in some cases, provides key information for understanding the livelihoods of ancient people.
