ABSTRACT: Ochre (colouring ferruginous rocks) is widespread in Palaeolithic and Mesolithic contexts, although information available on its use is still few. Starting by two key areas for the European Prehistory: the Cantabrian region and the Italian peninsula, this research highlights an intentional selection of iron ores for their red colour. Ochre were partially fragmented and powdering, while another part was used to realize objects to directly transfer colour on surfaces (crayons), both within domestic space as part of daily activities, and in spaces with human burials, as part of funeral rituals. The study of ochre assemblages made it possible to detect the continuity of technological practices from the Late Glacial to the Initial Holo...
