Resumo(s)
This paper explores the processes involved in the production of prehistoric paintings
using inorganic pigmentation. The focus for discussion involves a number of rock-shelter
sites that contain rock art within the western part of the Iberian Peninsula, with particular
reference to the sites that contain Schematic rock art. A direct date cannot be obtained on
rock art that is made with inorganic pigments. However, sampling and subsequent
analysis has clearly shown that pigments were produced using tried and tested recipes
that involved the use of sometimes organic binders. This paper will explore the chemical
and mineralogical qualities of sampled pigments from a selected number of sites within
Spain and Portugal and suggest that pigmentation was more than just applying paint to
rock.
