What does PREHISTORIC mean? Pre: Before Historic: Written History Prehistoric: Before written history Slide 3: Prehistoric artifacts have been found widely spread throughout Europe, Russia, Africa and China Slide 4: Prehistoric art is divided into two periods- Paleolithic Neolithic The first period is called the PALEOLITHIC period, otherwise known as the OLD STONE AGE. The Paleolithic period was from 30,000 - 10,000 B.C.. The second period is called the NEOLITHIC period, otherwise known as the NEW STONE AGE. The Neolithic period was from 8,000 - 5,000 B.C..

Some caves were sought out for other purposes, which we still do not fully understand. Language : Language Prehistoric people didn’t have a written language. Instead they used PICTOGRAPHS or pictures as symbols to communicate. Even today we use different pictures to communicate to people who speak different languages. Slide 14: Around 15,000 B.C.., ancient hunters drew and painted important life events on cave walls. These are now called the Lascaux Cave Paintings and are found in France. In 1940, a group of young boys discovered the caves by accident. They had been untouched until then. The pictures in the caves tell us a lot about the lives of our Prehistoric ancestors. Slide 15: Lascaux Caves, France 15,000-13,0000 B.C. Inside Lascaux : Inside Lascaux Slide 17: The subjects of Paleolithic art were primarily animals (bison, horses, deer and lions) People were only represented as “stick” figures at this point in time. Slide 18: The most famous part of the caves at Lascaux is “The Hall of Bulls”, because most of the animals depicted are of bulls. Slide 19: Could this be a unicorn? Different techniques were used to place the images on the cave walls, relying on exacting observation and memory of the artist. Pigments were ground up and mixed with animal fat, blood, oils, bone marrow or saliva.They were blown , dabbed or painted on with a stick (may be sharp or frayed) or a finger. : Different techniques were used to place the images on the cave walls, relying on exacting observation and memory of the artist.
