Do you have a source for that? I'd be interested.

I've suspected for a while given an 8th century BCE mention of an Assyrian anointing oil of olive oil, myrrh, and cannabis that the original recipe before Josiah's reforms was similar, especially given the find linked above at Tel Arad, but I haven't seen anything about pottery residue in Israelite or Judean sites.
