En el Paleolítico usaban conchas o pelvis de ciervo como recipientes de pintura🎨 Al analizar los restos de colorantes de estas piezas hemos descubierto que mezclaban los pigmentos con arcillas o cuarzos molidos, e incluso podían calentarlos para variar su color. #PintarAltamira

Subsequently, the incised elements—such as the four holes, the eyes, and the navel—were created by pressing tools onto the partially dried ceramic.

On the other hand, the analysis provided interesting results regarding the modeling technique of the statuette, suggesting that the most likely procedure was a non-additive technique.

The use of CT technology is crucial for the analysis of many prehistoric artefacts, especially pieces of art. Considering their uniqueness and the high level of protection they are subjected to, any use of destructive techniques such as thin sections is impossible.

On a lump of fired clay from the Dolní Věstonice/Pavlov area were found the impressions of plant fibres. The process of picking nettles, crushing the dried stem, preparation of tow, spinning the thread and weaving was tested and shown to be possible using tools of the time.

Furthermore, some figurines known as ‘Venuses’ from the Gravettian period are depicted wearing items, some of which appears to be made of spun thread, cordage and woven textiles (Soffer, Adovasio and Hyland, 2000:523).

Until recently it was thought that loom-woven textiles first appeared with the early agricultural societies, however, textile impressions found on baked clay fragments from Gravettian sites provide solid evidence that this technology existed in the Up. Paleolithic (White, 2003).

The birth of Venus, by John Bulloch Souter (1890-1972)

It was not until 2002 that her remains were finally returned to South Africa, where she received a dignified burial

After her death in 1815, the exploitation did not end: her body was studied, dissected, and displayed in museums for over a century.

Just arrived from London.. the Hottentot Venus! It was a phenomenon in the 19th century. But, who was the so-called “Hottentot Venus”? Behind this name lies a powerful story about racism, colonialism, and the exploitation of the human body in modern history.
