We have performed a Raman miscroscopic analysis of a series of prehistoric artifacs found inside the Ardales Cave (Ardales, Málaga, Spain), such as a number of fixed and portable fat-burning stone lamps, some lithic tools and wall paintings, by means of either a portable Raman spectrometer for in situ studies in the field or bench-top Raman spectrometers and Raman microscopes in the laboratory of Vibrational Spectroscopy at the Central Building of Scientific Facilities of the University of Málaga (SCAI, UMA).
