Abstract

Olfaction has profoundly shaped human experience and behaviour from the deep past through to the present day.
Advanced biomolecular and ‘omics’ sciences enable more direct insights into past scents, offering new options to
explore critical aspects of ancient society and lifeways as well as the historical meanings of smell.
