AB  - We inserted 190 FTIR spectra of plastic samples in a digital database and 
      submitted it to Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to extract the "pure" 
      plastic polymers present. These identified plastics were polypropylene (PP), high 
      density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density 
      polyethylene terephthalate (HDPET), low density polyethylene terephthalate 
      (LDPET), polystyrene (PS), Nylon (NL), polyethylene oxide (OPE), and Teflon (TEF) 
      and they were used to establish the similarity with unknown plastics using the 
      correlation coefficient (r), and the crosscorrelation function (CC). For samples 
      with r<0.8 we determined the Mahalanobis Distance (MD) as additional tool of 
      identification. For instance, for the four plastic fragments found in the 
      Carretta carretta, one plastic sample was assigned to OPE due to its r=0.87; for 
      all the other three plastic samples, due to the r values ranging between 0.83 
      and0.70, the support of MD suggested LDPET and OPE as co-polymer constituents.
