  4. Great Hall of the Bulls Mainly metal oxides, iron and manganese, were used. No trace of charcoal has been found contrary to the caves in Lot, Ariège or Ardèche. This region has many manganese deposits, a phenomenon which didn't escape the notice of Palaeolithic man.

  5. Chumash Rock Paintings http://www.sbnature.org/research/anthro/chumash/pcart.htm Shamans, or Chumash priests, are thought to have made these paintings to influence supernatural beings and forces to intervene in human affairs. Red - iron oxide (hematite). Black - charcoal or from manganese oxide. White - gypsum or diatomaceous earth.

  6. The Anza-Borrego Desert's Forgotten Artist • The Indians of the Anza-Borrego Desert, the Cahuilla, Cupeño, Diegueño, and Kumeyaay, left a legacy of art: an open-air gallery of rock art. These petroglyphs and pictographs are eyewitness accounts, vivid on-the-scene reports that give us some idea of what was important to the people who once inhabited this desert. • http://www.anza-borrego.org/04rockart_main.htm
