    CLOTTES J. (dir.) 2012. — L’art pléistocène dans le monde / Pleistocene art of the world / Arte pleistoceno en el mundo Actes du Congrès IFRAO, Tarascon-sur-Ariège, septembre 2010 – Symposium « Signes, symboles, mythes et idéologie… » Symbolism and becoming a hunter-gatherer Iain DAVIDSON* I dedicate this paper to the memory of Andrée Rosenfeld. From the time when, as an undergraduate, I read her book with Peter Ucko (Ucko & Rosenfeld 1967) that corrected the excesses of the structuralist approach to French cave “art” to the occasion of a visit to her home only months before she passed away, I found Andrée a model of good sense about all matters to do with all forms of rock “art”. She gave me and many others nothing but sound advice and managed to navigate between theory and data with more clear sight of her destination than most others. And she was, simply, one of the nicest people who ever became an archaeologist. She will be sorely missed. Pleistocene paintings and engravings are not art From time to time, we all worry about the use of the word “art” in connection with what we study (see review in Bradley 2009, Ch. 1). The images on rock and other surfaces that concern us here have some visual similarity with some of what is called art in other contexts, particularly when they are of great beauty (e.g. Chauvet et al. 1995; Clottes 2001). Yet the associations of art –paintings, sculptures and other works– over the last six hundred years (see e.g. Gombrich 1995) (or perhaps only three hundred according to Shiner 2001), mean that it is highly unlikely that any paintings or engraved images on rocks or in caves relate to social, economic, and cultural circumstances similar in any way to those of art in the twenty-first century.

    Introducing the World Archives of Rock Art (WARA): 50.000 Years of Visual Arts

    Introducing the World Archives of Rock Art (WARA): 50.000 years of visual arts Emmanuel Anati Centro Camuno di Studi Preistorici Published in New discoveries, new interpretations, new research methods, XXI Valcamonica Symposium , Capo di Ponte, Edizioni del Centro, 2004, pp.51-69. Source: http://www.ccsp.it/ANATI WARA rev PRE.htm Abstract This paper illustrates the motivations and the aims for undertaking a large-scale project on a world inventory of prehistoric and tribal art. Art is a world wide phenomenon, which is part of the behavioural system of Homo sapiens. The study in this field was so far focused on descriptions of local patterns. The proposed world data base project will allow an understanding of the universal patterns of prehistoric art and the significance of local or ethnic patterns. It will provide an international resource to reconstruct the history of mankind of the last 50.000 years. From the preliminary work carried on so far several important paradigms emerge already on behaviour, cultural trends and cognitive processes. They allow us to predict the output and the possible uses of the project. Riassunto Questa comunicazione illustra le motivazioni per un inventario mondiale dell’arte preistorica e tribale. L’arte è un fenomeno globale che riflette il sistema comportamentale dell’Homo sapiens. Gli studi del settore erano finora interessati principalmente alla definizione di modelli locali. La banca dati mondiale del progetto WARA permetterà di esaminare e comprendere i modelli universali dell’arte preistorica e tribale ed il significato di caratteristiche locali o etniche. Questa banca dati costituirà una risorsa internazionale per ricostruire la storia dell’uomo e delle avventure del suo intelletto negli ultimi 50.000 anni.

  • Adolescence and Innovation in the European Upper Palaeolithic

    Adolescence and Innovation in the European Upper Palaeolithic

    Evolutionary Human Sciences (2020), 2, e36, page 1 of 24 doi:10.1017/ehs.2020.37 RESEARCH ARTICLE Adolescence and innovation in the European Upper Palaeolithic April Nowell1* and Jennifer C. French2 1Department of Anthropology, University of Victoria, PO Box 1700 STN CSC, Victoria, BC, Canada V8W 2Y2 and 2University College London, Institute of Archaeology, 31–34 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PY, UK *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Childhood and adolescence are two stages of development that are unique to the human life course. While childhood in the Pleistocene has received considerable attention in recent years, adolescence during the same period remains an understudied area of research. Yet it is during adolescence that key social, physical and cognitive milestones are reached. Thus, through studying adolescents, there is enormous potential for improving our understanding of Upper Palaeolithic lifeways more broadly. The reason for the dearth of these types of studies may be the perceived methodological difficulty of identifying adolescents in the archaeological record. In many ways, it is easier to distinguish children (sensu lato) from adults based on size, developmental age and associated artefacts. Adolescents, however, are often seen as more ambigu- ous, more liminal. Working within an evolutionary framework and using a definition of adolescence rooted in biology, we draw on psychology, ethnography and palaeodemography to develop a model of what it might have meant to be a ‘teenager’ in the European Upper Palaeolithic. Citing the biological, social and cognitive changes that occur during this life stage, we propose an important role of teenagers in the origins and spread of new ideas and innovations throughout the Late Pleistocene.
