Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
the authors observe that over the last decade several dozen direct dates on cave art pigments or associated materials have supplemented more traditional style-based attempts to establish a chronological (and developmental) scheme for cave art. In the `post-stylistic' era an holistic integration of pigment `recipe' analysis, formal stylistic analysis and direct chronometric dating have been applied to a handful of dates. They examine the state-of-the-art of Palaeolithic cave art dating, with particular emphasis on certain radiocarbon and Uranium-series projects. They examine the relative successes and weaknesses of this cutting edge science. They conclude that there are several weaknesses in current applications that are in serious need of addressing, and that issues of sample contamination and of the heuristic relationship between materials dated and the production of the art are particularly problematic. It is argued that one should at present be very cautious about straightforward interpretations of apparent `dates' of cave art | |||
