Abstract
Incense (or olibanum) comes from different lands of the world. It is sold under several names, which often
leads to confusion, in local markets or shops. Authors try to characterise a number of samples according
to each geographical origin. Some analytical examples are given. The method is applied to an
archaeological sample.
