Description
Summary:The definitions of chronological markers of painting on rock art in Archeological sites, has been one of fundamental aiming for all searchers that work in Archeology. In Morro do Chapéu-Ba, limited features of traces are the main reason that make difficult to use traditional methods. In addition, it worst with shallow depth soil, resulting scarce and poor artefacts. However, the finding of pigment blocks inside of campfire in the Toca da Figura, provides exceptional opportunity to determine when it was done. The use of analytical methods from Archeometry became possible to build a frame of links between pictures painted on the panel and the pigment blocks of campfire.
