The provenance of yellow, red, and green Fe‐bearing mineral pigments used in archaeological and artistic contexts is pivotal in archaeological science providing information on trading activities, commercial routes, and procurement of appropriate raw materials. To support these studies, mineralogical and geochemical databases are required. The research presents a complete database of raw materials collected in the western sector of the Lessini Mountains (Venetian Pre‐Alps in NE Italy) based on mineralogical (X‐ray Powder Diffraction; XRPD) and geochemical (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy; ICP‐MC) data, providing a solid reference archive for provenance studies
