This manuscript seeks to facilitate meta-analysis of cross-disciplinary ochre studies by
advocating for a common vocabulary and clarifying the definition of “ochre” as used by …

Usually referred to as 'ochre'or 'pigment'in archaeological contexts, ferruginous rocks were
commonly exploited during the Later Stone Age in southern Africa. While ochre could lead to …

Naturally occurring and deeply coloured iron-bearing materials were exploited very early on
by human populations. The characterization of these materials has proven useful for …

Ochre has been used for a variety of cultural items worldwide including its use as pigments,
polishing tools, medicines, and formal lithic tools such as axes and plummets. Though ochre …

Using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (LA-ICP-MS) and
Raman spectroscopy, we investigate red pigment applied to ceramic vessels as a slip or film …

In iron-bearing rock provenance researches the definition of what is a source vary from an
author to another. Issues might occur when the sources are associated with complex …

Magnetic nanoparticles have been actively researched for at least the last 5 years for their
potential in analytical chemistry, bio sensing, nano medicine, and water purification and …

Curation of archaeological materials often leads to carrying out multi-analytical
methodologies that combine non-invasive and invasive elemental analyses. Such materials …

Hematite, and more broadly ochre, have long been used by humans throughout history for a
variety of applications. In prehistoric North America the use of hematite is as old as its first …
