Abstract: The article is focused on the discussion concerning the relative age of the wall paintings found in the Ignatievskaya Cave in view of the archaeological context of the colour mineral pigments found in the strata of Southern Ural cave monuments dating to the Upper Palaeolithic. The features of the paintings’ style, created with red colour, gave rise to the consideration of their creation during the Holocene period. The results of direct radiocarbon dating from drawings in black colour, made with charcoal, presented new arguments in favour of a post-Pleistocene dating for the monument’s whole pictorial cycle. At the same time, the results of a comprehensive archaeological study of the Ignatievskaya Cave, including the results of radiocarbon dating, revealed direct evidence of the existence of artistic activity in the monument at the end of the Upper Palaeolithic. However, up to today scholars have not undertook a comparison of the archaeological context of the nature and conditions of occurrence of colour mineral pigments in the cultural layer of Upper Palaeolithic sites in this region. The comparison of the archaeological context of the distribution of red ochre in the cultural layer of the Ignatievskaya Cave with the distribution of coloured mineral pigments in other sites of the Southern Ural allows to consider the possible Late Palaeolithic of the red drawings. The similarities in the archaeological context of the colour pigments in Late Pleistocene cultural layer near the wall paintings in the Kapova and Ignatievskaya Caves, as well as the absence of evidence for the use of ochre in the Holocene layer, including locus with paleoanthropological remains, on the site of both sites significantly strengthens the conclusion that at least part of the Ignatievskaya Cave red-colour paintings date to the Upper Palaeolithic.
