This paper discusses two projects that revolve around the conceptualization of tourism products within framework interpreting and understanding archaeological sites through a sustainable approach as part TURARQ's initiative. The primary objective was to explore application co-creation model, specifically Project Based Learning methodology "Demola" with support "Link me Up" project, in field tourism. first Show Me Past, involved development mobile app utilized an agile requirement analysis...
La Serena region is a large plateau with open landscapes bounded in the south by mountain chain formed Benquerencia, Tiros and Rinconada Sierras. There are more than 300 painted engraved sites region.Cueva Grande, Cueva de En medio Pequeña three Schematic rock art shelters located municipality of Benquerencia la Serena, Badajoz, Spain. Over their panels have been documented hundred schematic figures (anthropomorphic figures, eye-shape symbols) (Neolithic – Copper Age).Paintings monochromatic...
This paper explores the processes involved in production of prehistoric paintings using inorganic pigmentation. The focus for discussion involves a number rock-shelter sites that contain rock art within western part Iberian Peninsula, with particular reference to Schematic art. A direct date cannot be obtained on is made pigments. However, sampling and subsequent analysis has clearly shown pigments were produced tried tested recipes use sometimes organic binders. will explore chemical...
The Ndalambiri rock shelter in the Ebo region of Angola is a key site for assessing human occupation there given its potential association between stratigraphic contexts and art panels. Focusing on Iron Age European contact periods, this study characterised site's paintings using Raman spectroscopy, while also obtaining AMS radiocarbon dates from paint residues charcoal collected context during trial excavation below one painted spectroscopy results revealed use carbon-based pigment...
Abstract Rural areas and in particular mountain territories have been experiencing an increasing appreciation of natural heritage resources their use for recreational leisure activities, boosting tourism development generating renewed functions with economic social impact. Inland waters are becoming increasingly important tourism, many activities associated users seeking them. Fluvial beaches represent facilities rural communities, allowing people visitors access to aquatic spaces leisure,...
Monfragüe National Park (Cáceres) preserved a very important schematic rock art complex with more than hundred shelters postpalaeolithic paintings and engravings. In this paper we'll provide an advance of our last research campaigns conclusions carried out in the Arroyo Barbaón sector (Serradilla). We have proceeded to digital documentation 29 shelter figures. Furthermore, through archaeological excavation inside Cueva del Sapo, which provided some pottery fragments stone tools as well...

 Um dos aspetos mais interessantes nos variados estudos pigmentos utilizados para a realização de pinturas rupestres é selecção e manipulação das matérias-primas. Para estes têm que ser considerados os geológicos, relacionados com disponibilidade matérias-primas; culturais, resultantes diferentes tradições adotadas finalmente, conservação, ou seja, possibilidade encontrar somente parte originalmente (p.ex: componentes inorgânicos).

Microscopic observation correlated with chemical-mineralogical characterization was performed on pigment samples from "Abrigo del Lince" rock art site (V-IV millennium BC), in order to provide contributions the study of prehistoric schematic granite province Badajoz (Spain). The research objectives include understanding technological and cultural aspects, as well conservation deterioration issues related pictographs. multi-analytical approach encompasses integration microscopic observation,...
Cueva de Los Postes is located in the southern part of Spanish Extremadura region, Fuentes León municipality. This study analyzed pottery found during archaeological excavations Postes. The aim was to determine whether raw materials had common or separate origins and not origin material regional. In this regard, several fragments were different phases (Neolithic Copper Age) Holocene occupation These using ATR-FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy). samples demonstrated no strong...
<title>Abstract</title> The Ocreza Valley (Lower Tejo River), central Portugal provides evidence for a new Upper Palaeolithic rock art complex in western Iberia. Recently discovered panels, comprising several engraved zoomorphic figures that includes an auroch (Panel OCR20), another with horse figure OCR22) and bolder OCR21). These discoveries substantially increase the previous number of engravings included headless found 2000 OCR15). style is identical to open-air from other areas Iberia,...
The study seeks to unravel the intricate operational sequence involved in preparing prehistoric pigments for rock art within Puerto Roque shelter. Sixteen pigment samples, identified as Lab Code Puerto_1 Puerto_16, were meticulously collected from specific figurative representations. Additionally, three ochre samples (Puerto_17, Puerto_18, and Puerto_19) sourced shelter&#039;s soil. Employing a comprehensive multi-analytical approach, including Raman microspectroscopy, X-ray...
