Good point you bring up here, can you elaborate and provide some example to support what you are discussing?
No worries! Sorry about the dates, I have gone back in to check that all the dates match and are correct now. Good point you bring up in this post. Can you give some examples to help support your post? Do you think that the simplicity could also be due to the fact that some of these works were done more out of utility?
I would say that more than providing information about the past, these images and objects were more functional and utilitarian, providing information for survival, rituals, and to tell stories pertinent to the culture.
Can you elaborate and provide some examples to support your point? Revisit the initial discussion post to add to what you have here.
I agree, but why would this be important to prehistoric civilizations? Can you elaborate with some examples and speculate as to why these figures and images are more realistic or the objects more functional?
Great post! I love that you bring up the concepts of permanence, story telling and function. These are all really important topics to consider when studying these works and help us to speculate about how and why they were created.
Interesting posts! I think that these points are worth exploring but your later comments in this post are the most accurate.
Great discussion! I too wonder if the people that created these works thought about who might encounter them in the future or if there was any thought put into the future existence of these pieces? Interesting thoughts here!
What else do you think these images and object teach? Think about hunting and gathering, food sources, reproduction, etc.
Yes, there is a lot of evidence that many of the female figures of this time period depict fertility. The exaggerated body parts indicate their importance.
