IN SITU X-RAY FLUORESCENCE ANALYSIS OF ROCK ART PAINTINGS ALONG THE COAST AND VALLEYS OF THE ATACAMA DESERT, NORTHERN CHILE
Results of exploratory in situ analyses with a portable X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) applied to six rock painting sites, located from Lluta to Camarones coastal valleys in the Atacama Desert, northern Chile, are presented. The results indicate the use of iron oxide as a main component in all paintings,...
