I talk with Amy Chase, a graduate student a the Memorial University of Newfoundland. Amy’s research is on El Castillo Cave in Spain where she recently conducted fieldwork. Amy focuses on analyzing pigments found at the site. She explains the paintings at the cave and why the site has become controversial in recent years. She also talks about the process of analyzing pigments and dating cave art and the process of producing cave art in ancient times. Finally, we speculate on the meanings of the paintings and the intentions of the artists.
