Chemical analyses of organic contents are not yet systematic but are increasingly used in order to document production, processing of raw materials, transportation, conservation, consumption, and ritual offerings to gods and the dead. Samples were collected in Apollonia of Cyrenaica in 2008 as part of the French Archaeological Mission in Libya, headed by André Laronde. A little over a dozen perfume vessels dating to the end of the Classical era and the beginning of the Hellenistic period were selected to make a chemical analysis of their organic content. This article presents the results of these analyses and their botanical and archaeological interpretations. It appears that the contents of ceramic vessels differ from those of alabaster. They are composed of fatty aromatic, cosmetic and medicinal substances including vegetal and animal material.
