報告摘要：Ochre is a recurrent feature in numerous Palaeolithic sites and is often interpreted as evidence for complex behavior. Colour significantly influences our perception of the world and plays a main role in the emergence of complex cultures and in the transmission of information. The earliest secure evidence for ochre use is found at 300.000 year-old archaeological sites from Africa and Europe. It usually consists of iron rich rocks modified by grinding, scraping and knapping to produce red or yellow powder or ochre residues adhering to different types of artefacts. Here we will summarize what we know about the emergence and evolution of ochre use from the Lower to the Upper Palaeolithic, review techniques currently used for the analysis of this material and highlight analytical and theoretical issues surrounding this complex cultural feature by presenting specific cases of ochre assemblage analyses.
嘉賓簡介：Daniela Rosso分別獲得西班牙巴塞羅那大學和法國波爾多大學博士學位，現為西班牙瓦倫西亞大學研究員。她曾獲得多項博士后獎學金，包括意大利費拉拉大學歐萊雅一聯合國教科文組織杰出女性科學家獎學金(Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Fellowship)以及法國蔚藍海岸大學菲森博士后獎學金(Fyssen Postdoctoral Fellowship)。她的研究聚焦于人類復雜行為的起源，特別是舊石器時代人類對于顏料的使用。近期，她獲得了西班牙科學部與歐洲社會基金聯合資助的“Ramón yCajal”研究項目，以開展在非洲、歐洲和亞洲多地的綜合性研究。
