Scientists find ways to study and reconstruct past scents NatureHumBehav
Scent has always been an integral component of the human experience, but up until now, the past has remained largely odorless. Most scents come fromthat decay quickly, leaving little for archaeologists to investigate thousands of years later. Now a team of researchers from the MPI for the Science of Human History is looking for new ways to bring the"smellscapes" of the past back to life and using smell to study past experience, behavior, and society.
Understanding the sensorial dimension of human history and the use of odorous and aromatic substances can contribute knowledge about many aspects of the past—including ritual, perfumery, hygiene, cuisine, trade and commerce. But becauseis part of how we experience, understand and navigate the world, ancient scents can also provide insight into more general aspects of the past, from social hierarchy and social practices to group identity.
