Hypogenic caves represent unique environments for the development of specific microbial communities that need to be studied. Caves with rock art pose an additional challenge due fragility paintings and engravings colonization which may induce chemical, mechanical aesthetic alterations. Therefore, it is essential understand thrive in these monitor activity effects on host order better preserve safeguard ancestral artforms. This study aims at investigating Palaeolithic representations found...
ABSTRACT The direct dating of rock paintings is not always possible due to the lack organic carbon compounds in pigments, or because sampling from a heritage site often restricted. To overcome these limitations, laboratories have develop new approaches. In this study, we consider calcium oxalate crusts covering painted artworks as way indirectly date art. This stratigraphic approach includes isolating and extracting pure crusts. was tested on natural bulk accretions collected open-air sites...
Cave Art is a fragile testimony of past human societies and the development modern behaviours. In limestone caves, moonmilk commonly endanger artworks. It calcite deposit with large variability chemical composition morphological structures it hosts numerous microbial communities. The possibility to characterize this in field would aid better understanding cave behaviour allow setting up proper conservation measures. present study analyses strip metric size Leye Vézère Valley (Dordogne,...
Our research deals with the evolution of wall surfaces in prehistoric caves. The focus this paper is dedicated to structural and chemical characterization a white concretion partially covering some walls In one caves, non-ornate which became laboratory-cave (the Leye cave at Marquay, Dordogne, France) located Vézère valley, set physical methods has been proposed tested on first samples taken: SEM-EDXS, cathodoluminescence laser-based techniques such as Raman spectroscopy Laser Induced...
Border Cave is a well-known South African Middle and Early Later Stone Age site located in KwaZulu-Natal. The has exceptional plant preservation, unparalleled the archaeological record. This study focuses on phytolith FTIR analysis of two Members (2 BS 2 WA) under-documented post-Howiesons Poort occupations dating to ∼60 ka. These members contain complex successions vertically overlapping, interdigitating light brown sediments, bedding combustion features various sizes. complexity...
Abstract Raman spectroscopy identified graphite and multilayer graphene on ~70,000‐year‐old stone tools from Middle Stone Age deposits at Sibudu Cave, KZN, South Africa. The graphite/multilayer appeared to be concentrated the hafting side of artefacts, suggesting that it was added glue. However, only made hornfels not those dolerite quartzite. A geological origin is therefore out question. In this paper, we present arguments for against its as or constituent resin. Our results favour serve a...
