Abstract
Rock art pigments tested at Rose Cottage Cave for the presence of haemoglobin gave varying and interesting results. The method has been used to detect the presence of haemoglobin on prehistoric stone tool residues and was found to be non-destructive. It is an efficient means of identifying pigments which contain sufficient quantities of biomolecules that are still reactive and warrant further molecular analysis. At a more general level, the test can also provide some insight into the composition of rock art pigments.
