报告摘要：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.
