The transformation of yellow goethite into red hematite by heating has long been assumed for Palaeolithic artefacts excavated close to fireplaces. However, this is extremely rare. Using SEM–FEG–EDX, PIXE–PIGE, TEM and μXRD, we characterized the mineralogical chemical compositions four microsamples colouring materials from Mousterian layer B in es‐Skhul rock‐shelter, about 100 kya ago. For some materials, people chose gather remote lumps heating. Their significant transport distance provides...
The fading of modern laboratory-synthesized and commercial Prussian blue, iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II), based pigments in a linseed oil medium during exposure to light has been investigated. blue were painted with oil, as pure pigment mixed white lead, (PbCO3)2Pb(OH)2, zinc white, ZnO, or titanium TiO2, pigment. samples subjected accelerated ageing for 800 h the fastness was evaluated by reference wool standards. Pure is extremely fast whilst it strongly fades when pigment, especially lead...
The onset of the Early Upper Palaeolithic is represented by few open air camp-sites in southern France. Most archaeological record documented sequences occupations rock shelters or at base rocky cliffs. These contexts offer favorable conditions for preservation organic materials, but areas excavated are small, limiting our understanding spatial relationships between remains human occupations. Knapped stone associated with consumed fauna often accompanied colouring stones rich iron and...
Abstract Although the main prehistoric color used for paintings is red, knowledge of this coloring matter often boils down to saying that it “ochre.” However, red Prehistory numerous and may have been subject various preparations, mixtures, or even alterations. Understanding use transformation raises questions about technical processes but also supply strategies these ancient societies. In case analysis solid archaeological remains, we can access petrography, mineralogy chemistry ferruginous...
Although prehistoric sites frequently contain numerous fragments and traces of many different kinds colouring matter, intensive study this type archaeological remains began only recently. Such studies, aimed at determining how raw materials formed changed over time, they were transported by the groups humans who used them, are extremely valuable as reveal shared strategies, that is, cultural traditions spaces in which developed. The scope paper focusses on description main geological...
Le gisement les Bossats à Ormesson, outre ses niveaux badegoulien, solutréen, gravettien et moustérien, a également livré une occupation châtelperronienne sur grande surface, pelliculaire dont l'intégrité n'a pas souffert de mélanges ou façon très limitée avec des plus anciens récents. Fouillé au sein deux sondages, sondages 3 50 ouverts respectivement 16 2 m2, mais d'une surface estimée 150 m2 minimum, ce niveau livre déjà un certain nombre d'informations concernant l'industrie lithique,...
Relationship between colouring agents found in archaeological deposits and rock paintings. methodology first comparative study at points. Cave (aiguèze, gard, france). The most common studies on matter concern the question of “chaîne opératoire” from procurement to use, dealing distinctively with remains art. Only a few have been done link excavated pieces art, even less taken into account correlation geological origin. Points cave presents particularity being decorated while archeological...
