Successfully dating rock art in southern Africa using improved sampling methods and new characterisation and pretreatment protocols
Worldwide, dating rock art is difficult to achieve because of a frequent lack of datable material and the difficulty of removing contamination from samples. Our research aimed to select the paints which would be the most likely to be successfully radiocarbon dated and to estimate the quantity of pai...
