ABSTRACT
Samples of the paint layer were studied using micro Raman spectroscopy and reflected infrared digital photography. The main chromatic component of all drawings was hematite. Calcite was found in almost all samples presumably due to active processes of modern minerogenesis. The drawings in the cave can be classified as transparent and opaque in the infrared range. This difference was caused by the presence of soot in paints of the pictures visible in the near infrared light.
