The aim of this paper is to study Neolithic culture of food and culinary art in southern Sweden. Food lipid residues extracted from eight ceramic shards from the site Logården, Karleby in Västergötland Sverige, are analysed by using GC-MS, Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry. The ceramics belong to the Funnel beaker culture and the material is dated to about 3000-2900 BC cal. The goal is to figure out what the pots have been used for and how the results match up with earlier results on the use of ceramic vessels in the Neolithic. The results show that the ceramic shards contain a majority of lipids from terrestrial animals mixed with lipids from vegetables.
