Ochre is fun, not only does it show up (mixed to varying intensities) in cave art, it also shows up in burials dating all the way back to 300,000 years ago. It’s an iron oxide pigment and it’s relatively easy to make. My neighbor growing up had a big bowl of it in a room filled with artifacts they’d been given or they’d dug up themselves and you could dip your finger into it and it would be stained for days

A Neanderthal found this rock, thought it looked like a face, and put a little dot for a nose. We still have their fingerprint. How can you look at that and not feel split open

Rock shaped like a human face. It is a long oval. At the top are two depressions that look like eyes and at the bottom is one that looks like a mouth. An ochre dot has been placed right in the center like a nose. On the right are two images of the dot. One is how it looks in reality, a reddish smidge. The second is how it looks on a scan, and the whorls of a fingerprint are clearly visible
