Abstract
⺠Black drink is the only caffeine-containing tea native to the United States. ⺠We experimentally produced black drink in pottery, and buried sherds from the vessels. ⺠We extracted absorbed pottery residues from the sherds. ⺠Caffeine persists in absorbed residues. ⺠Caffeine is a potential biomarker for the detection of black drink in absorbed residues.
