The Usage of Ochre at the Verge of Neolithisation from the Near East to the Carpathian Basin
2023
Overview
The Usage of Ochre at the Verge of Neolithisation from
the Near East to the Carpathian Basin explores the cultural
meaning of ochre among the societies of the Late
Epipalaeolithic/Mesolithic and the Early Neolithic from the Levant
to the Carpathian Basin. Firstly, the book attempts an accurate
characterization of the material, ochre. Both its features as well
as its possible outcrops and co-occurring minerals are outlined.
The cultural background is described, in particular underlining the
continuation of chosen elements and the visible dichotomy between
sacral and profane areas of ochre application. On that basis it
proved possible to discuss the meanings of ochre, underscored by
that division. The discussion also focuses on the possibility of
matching archaeological and natural samples. This in turn would
allow the creation of a map of interconnections between societies
and/or outcrops. To that end the project employed geochemical
methods, such as SEM, EDS and a trial study with Raman
spectroscopy. The main results demonstrate the possibility of ochre
characterization based on laboratory results and the visible
interconnections between Epipalaeolithic/Mesolithic and Neolithic
societies.
