This research is a collaboration between chemists and archaeologists to study the ancient mural paintings of the Lower Pecos. Using two independent methods, we are able to provide reliable age estimates for rock paintings. To obtain direct dates, we oxidize organic material in paint layers using plasma oxidation followed by accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating. For minimum and maximum ages, we isolate calcium oxalate in overlying and underlying accretion layers for combustion and...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Experimental research holds great potential for answering questions about the materiality of rock art, revealing insights into the practice of creating images and what it can tell us about the people who produced them. At Cerro Azul in Amazonian Colombia, multi-disciplinary documentation methods revealed that hand depictions were created using a variety of...
