Ochre ( also spelled ocher) and hematite ( or haematite) refer to several forms of iron oxide, a type of clay or sandy clay mineral found in natural deposits in many different regions of the world. Ochre' s primary use prehistorically was as pigments--coloration for everything from rock art paintings to pottery to human tattoos. Ochre is often associated with human burials: for example, the Upper Paleolithic cave site Arene Candide has an early use of ochre at a burial of a young man 23, 500 years ago. The site ofPaviland Cave in the UK, dated to about the same time, had a burial so soaked in red ochre he was called the " Red Lady " . A second " Red Lady " , this time actually referring to a female burial, was discovered at the Maya site of Copan. There are many other examples. Similar terms for ochre seen in scholarly records are ferrous oxide or iron oxide, limonite, hematite, red ochre and yellow ochre.
