| At the Getty Conservation Institute in southern California, Dr. David A. Scott and Stefanie Scheerer are in the process of analyzing some of the pigment fragments. Stefanie Scheerer prepared and provided all of images of the pigment samples with a Leica MPS Photautomat, attached to a Leica MZ6 Stereomicroscope. In attempting to understand what the pigments were made from, they were examined using various methods of polarization and cross polarization. Located on the web site http://www.anth.ucsb.edu/projects/kamupau/kamupau.html are various pages examining contemporary archaeological approaches to rock art recording and conservation strategies in Southern California. Each page focuses on a different aspect of an ongoing documentation project.
