P.228 left column 3rd paragraph: "The oldest evidence for beeswax comes from Neolithic sites in Anatolia dating from the seventh millennium cal bc, as these sites are the locations of the oldest pottery vessels in Europe and Eurasia. Most of the assemblages investigated comprised globular or bowl shape ‘cooking’ vessels, an interpretation supported by the finding of ruminant and porcine animal fats in significant numbers of vessels. No beeswax residues were detected during the intensive investigations of >380 vessels from the Levant, although only 34 residues were detected [ref 20]." |
