Photo by Robbie Shone (@ShonePhoto) // Geologist Yuri Dublyansky from the University of Innsbruck emerges near the polychrome composition “Horses and signs” on the southwest wall of Hall of Chaos in Shulgan-Tash (Kapova) cave, Russia. At the time of discovery of Paleolithic art in the cave by Alexander Riymin in 1959, the composition was completely coated with a thick layer of grey flowstone, remnants of which are visible in the upper and left parts of the rock wall. In 1976, researchers from the archaeological expedition of Otto Bader noticed on a bright red spot on the wall where red paint was washing out. Restorers from this expedition removed opaque flowstone and exposed drawings. They only left a millimeter-thick layer of translucent flowstone to protect drawings from adverse effects of water, flowing along the wall. Yuri took samples of this flowstone and analyzed them in the lab at the University of Innsbruck to understand when the art was created and what the climate was like at that time.
