Abstract
Colour in a new light: origins, trade and cultural significance of ancient pigments The ERC Starting Grant project HUE focuses on the provenance and production technology of ancient pigments from the late Bronze Age to the 1st century CE. We develop a much-needed pigment-specific reference database and test relevant tracers to improve comparative analysis. With HUE’s open-access pigment repository and map, we provide new research tools for future pigment and ancient polychromy research.
