Assignment

Take a look at the photos of the prehistoric cave paintings in the Prehistoric folder in Course Materials and then click on the link below and visit the website for Lascaux:http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/arcnat/lascaux/en/index.html. What do you think these archeological remains tell us about Stone Age people and their environment? Post your specific observations. After doing so, think about the importance of writing to a culture. Stone Age people left no written record of their history, belief systems, or day-to-day existence. To what extent can archeology alone reconstruct the lives of Stone Age People?
