...or flour glue.
Most of these are known by tradition in various trades now vanishing like shoemakers, saddle-makers, traditional shipwrights.
I do not know how far back they go and I do not have info an the earliest possible appearance of each one.
Traces of raisin glue are being referred to neolithic artifacts from Sesklo (Thessaly) and Diro (Peloponissos).
Very unlikely that this glue disapeard in Bronze Age or later period.
Yet cremation and fire have altered the chemical of many artifacts that have been found on dead bodies so I am unwilling to speculate on that in absence of solid evidence.
Kind regards
