The exploration of the cultural significance of ochre across societies from the Near East to the Carpathian Basin delves into the rich tapestry of human history. In this captivating book, the author embarks on a meticulous journey to characterize ochre, a versatile material with unique features and potential outcrops. The author delves into the cultural background, highlighting the continuation of certain elements and the distinct divide between sacred and profane realms where ochre finds its application. This foundation enables a profound discussion on the meanings encoded within this vibrant substance, accentuated by the division it creates. Furthermore, the book explores the intriguing possibility of matching archaeological and natural samples, paving the way for a comprehensive map of interconnections between societies and ochre outcrops. To achieve this, the project employs cutting-edge geochemical methods, including SEM, EDS, and a trial study with Raman spectroscopy. The remarkable results unveiled in this study demonstrate the feasibility of characterizing ochre based on laboratory outcomes and the striking interconnectedness between Epipalaeolithic/Mesolithic and Neolithic societies. This insightful work not only sheds light on the past but also offers valuable insights into the complex tapestry of human culture and its enduring connections across time and space.
