A study of painted artifacts from Cova del Parpalló (Gandia), conducted by researchers from the University of Valencia (UV), demonstrates that limestone plaques were used as grinding stones, pounders, and palettes for processing pigments; this highlights the complexity and variability of pigment use during the Upper Paleolithic in the southeastern Iberian Peninsula. The article, with Daniela Rosso—a Ramón y Cajal researcher in the UV’s Department of Prehistory, Archaeology, and Ancient History—as lead author, has been published in the *Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports*.
