description Abstract The Altay Prefecture in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China, boasts an abundance source of rock art, with the Dunde Bulaq rock art complex holding paramount significance in the study of local culture. This work employs hyperspectral techniques for data collection and analysis of the Dunde Bulaq I rock art site. Signal decomposition, pigment classification/clustering, and spectral curve analysis were employed to delve deeply into the information of the rock art hyperspectral data. Furthermore, cross-validation was utilized to reveal hidden information within rock art. To comprehend these hidden information, a more profound historical tracing was conducted, employing methods such as literature retrieval and image analysis, uncovering the internal relationship between the site I and the Chemurchek culture. This provides fresh material for studying the Bronze Age cultures within the Altai region.
