dc.description.abstractPaints have the potential to encode information in every part of their preparation and use (in European parlance ‘chaîne opératoire’). Here, we report scanning electron microscopy for both chemical and anthracological analyses, as well as synchrotron powder diffraction results characterising a composite paint used to create a grey shirt on one of several Native Mounted Police motifs at the Crocodile 1 Rockshelter on Crocodile Station, Quinkan Country. Known to senior Traditional Owners as sorcery figures, the description of the paint provides additional information regarding the selection of materials by artists whose intention was to exercise power and agency in countering the violent attacks of the Native Mounted Police during the 1870s and 1880s. © The Authorsen_AU
