Abstract: | The study aims to establish several definite criteria which will differentiate Romanian amber and Baltic amber to certify
the local or Baltic origin of the materials found in archaeological sites on the Romanian territory, by using light microscopy
and performing analytical methods, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-variable angle reflectance and liquid chromatography
with mass spectrometry detection. Experiments especially by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, were applied to a wide
range of samples with controlled origin. The methods were optimised and resulted in premises to apply the techniques to analysis
of the archaeological material.
