Chemical and mineralogical analysis of argentine Patagonian rock paintings: A multidisciplinary reading

This paper gathers the conclusions of a research whose principal aim was to inquire about the knowledge and technological skills possessed by the artisans painters of northern argentinian Patagonia during pre- and postcolumbian times. The study focused on the material properties of the paints that a...
