Ceramic cooking pots record history of ancient food practices

 reading 3 additives of ceramic cooking pots—charred remains, inner floor residues and lipids absorbed inside the ceramic walls—can also help archaeologists uncover distinct timelines of culinary cooking practices used by ancient civilizations. the findings, from a year-lengthy cooking experiment, are published this week in clinical reviews.

led through scientists melanie miller, helen whelton and jillian quick, a crew of seven archaeologists repetitively cooked the identical substances in unglazed ceramic pots once in step with week over the path of 365 days, then changed recipes for the final cooking event to look at whether or not final residues may represent the last meal cooked or an accumulation of cooking events over the overall quantity of time a vessel has been used. recipes included substances together with wheat, maize and venison.

chemical evaluation of the carbon and nitrogen isotopic values of residues present inside the ceramic pots, contributed by means of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins from the meals cooked, suggest that the remains of burnt food left within each vessel represent the very last substances and trade with each meal. the chemical composition of the thin residue layer fashioned on the internal floor of the cooking pot and in maximum direct touch with the meals whilst cooking represents a mixture of preceding food, but most closely resembles that of the very last meal. further evaluation also indicates that lipids are absorbed into the walls of the ceramic vessel over some of cooking occasions and are not immediately replaced by the new recipes but are rather slowly changed over time, representing a combination of the elements cooked over the full amount of time the vessel changed into in use.

evaluation of all 3 residues screen cooking activities throughout extraordinary time scales for ceramic vessels and may allow archaeologists to higher understand the various assets utilized by historical cultures and to estimate the lifespan of pottery utilized in meal training.

Tres Lunas Imports sells pottery and statues imported every two weeks from Mexico

 

In the fastest and “easiest ever” real estate deal of his life, Leon Moeder recently leased space to Raul Lopez and German Tena of Tres Lunas Imports for one of three properties he owns at Second and Hydraulic.

“They called me one afternoon,” Moeder said. “That evening, they submitted their application, and by the afternoon of the next day we had a signed lease and handed them keys.”

Within hours of that, Lopez and Tena made one of their regular trips to Mexico to buy what Lopez called “100 percent hecho en Mexico pottery.”

The pots, garden items, statues and other items Tres Lunas sells are all made in Mexico.

Lopez has had a 30-year career in shipping and receiving, but he said, “I always kind of wanted some sort of store.”

Though he grew up in California, Lopez was born in Mexico, and he said it was important to him that his business be about his culture and heritage.

Lopez said he named the business, which means three moons, for his third cat, Luna.

“She kind of inspired me.”

Lopez and Tena liked Moeder’s 2,200-square-foot property, which is at 327 N. Hydraulic, for its central location and that it’s near the Douglas Design District.

“We like the area . . . and it’s close to a lot of small businesses.”

Hours are a bit irregular because Lopez and Tena travel to Mexico every couple of weeks.

“Our time kind of changes because we have to go get inventory,” Lopez said.

Check the Tres Lunas Imports Facebook page for updates on hours.

Tres Lunas is in a warehouse with large, open doors at its front, and some of the merchandise sits in front of the store.

Lopez said he expects winter sales to be slower.

“We wanted to establish before the end of the season. . . . That’s why we kind of rushed to get established.”

Because of the frequent trips, Lopez said, “Our inventory changes every two weeks,” which he said he hopes will keep customers coming back.

Lopez said each piece is of “very, very good” quality.

“We make sure we bring pieces of art.”
