Pencil brushed Prehistoric and Ancient ages Greece Dolphin fresco from Queen’s apartments at Minoa’s palace in Knossos Knossos is the largest Bronze Age archeological site on Crete. The great palace was built between 1700 and 1400 BC with periodic rebuilding after destruction. Frescoes decorated the walls of the palace. These sophisticated, colorful paintings portray a society which was either conspicuously non-militaristic or did not choose to portray military themes anywhere in their art. The Minoans closely associated nature with the divine. Many of the frescoes of Knossos feature the plants and animals associated with Crete and gods. The Queen’s private reception room in the east wing of the palace, the east wall preserves the dolphin fresco, combining dolphins, fish and sea urchins. This is one of Knossos’ most representative frescoes.

He was named after the sickle on his right shoulder. The statue was made during the neolit period, about 5.000 – 4.400 BC. Maybe it is the prefiguration of the gent divinity in the greek mithology. Prehistoric and Ancient ages Hungary Divinity with a sickle Renáta Solowa, 12 Prehistoric and Ancient ages Ireland The Book of Kells The Book of Kells (Irish: Leabhar Cheanannais) (Dublin, Trinity College Library, MS A. I. (58), sometimes known as the Book of Columba) is an illuminated manuscript Gospel book in Latin, containing the four Gospels of the New Testament together with various prefatory texts and tables. It was created by Celtic monks ca. 800 or slightly earlier. The text of the Gospels is largely drawn from the Vulgate, although it also includes several passages drawn from the earlier versions of the Bible known as the Vetus Latina. It is a masterwork of Western calligraphy and represents the pinnacle of Insular illumination. It is also widely regarded as Ireland's finest national treasure. Prehistoric and Ancient ages Ireland The Book of Kells David Macilwraith, 6th “I used bright colours because this reminds me of a stained glass window. The picture was originally drawn by Irish monks. The picture is entitled »Christ Enthroned«. I really liked this because of the beautiful celtic patterns and colours” Prehistoric and Ancient ages Italy This is the most ancient example of visual art in Sicily: it has been discovered in 1943, when the caves on Mount Pellegrino, by the sea of Palermo, were used as weapons deposit. Mount Pellegrino (=Pilgrim’s Mountain) has always been considerated as a Sacred Mountain since prehistory. It’s not very sure what this scene is about. Maybe our ancestors wanted to represent a ritual dance made to celebrate hunting or a religious sacrifice. People and animals are scratched in the rocks using sharp stones. Prehistoric and Ancient ages Italy Bruno Buscetta (aged 8) Prehistoric and Ancient ages Poland Facial urn for cremation ashes unknown artist Urn dating from about the third century BC was made of ceramic clay. It was decorated in embossing, knurling, scrolling, engraving and slipware techniques. These urns in the shape of faces, were used in funerary rituals in Pomerania and they are an important part of the Polish prehistoric culture. Prehistoric and Ancient ages Poland Facial urn for cremation ashes unknown artist Oskar Gniewkowski, aged 10 Prehistoric and Ancient ages Spain Cuevas de Altamira (Altamira Caves), Cantabria, Spain Upper Palaeolithic, the painting date from 15,000 to 12,000 BC The Altamira Caves have become a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985, and one of the “Twelve Treasures of Spain” since 2005. They are also well known as “The Sistine Chapel” of cave painting. They belong to the French- Cantabrian school and their main features are: the realism, the use of polychrome – with the use of ochre, yellow and reddish pigments, and the figure outline with vegetal coal – and the movement and volume of the figures, taking advantage of the natural relief of the cave walls. The meaning of this painting could have been a ceremonial one, as to encourage hunting.

Anatolian Civilizations Museum at Ankara. Two Hittite warriors, an archer and a charioteer on the chariot. The man under the horse is an enemy of Hittites, Vae Victo ! ... The oldest testimony of chariot warfare in the Ancient Near East is the Old Hittite Anitta text (18th century BC), mentioning 40 teams of horses at the siege of Salatiwara. The Hittites were renowned charioteers. They developed a new chariot design, which had lighter wheels, with less spokes. The Battle of Kadesh in 1299 BC is likely to have been the largest chariot battle ever fought, involving some five thousand chariots. Prehistoric and Ancient ages Turkey Hititli Okcu ve Savas Arabası unknown artist Aysenur DUZGUN, 14 Middle ages Middle ages United Kingdom The Wilton Diptych unknown artist 1395-1399, painted on oak wood panels using egg tempera (pigment and egg) The Wilton Diptych is about 700 years old and is on show in the National Gallery, London (who was given the piece of art in 1929). It was painted around 1395-1399 and is very precious. It was painted as an altarpiece for King Richard II. It is called the Wilton Diptych because it came from Wilton House in Wiltshire, the seat of the Earls of Pembroke. Nobody knows who painted the Wilton Diptych but they think it was either a French or English man. The picture is framed in two separate frames. The panels of the Wilton Diptych were made in North Europe. In the left picture, the Saint on the left is called St Edward the Confessor and the Saint in the middle is St Edmund – they were both Kings of England. The last Saint is Saint John the Baptist who baptised Jesus and just below them there is King Richard II bowing to the Angels. In the picture on the right, in the middle are the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus in her hands. All around Mary there are angels. One of the Angels is holding a flag. The original painting was painted on oak wood panels. The paint was made by mixing pigment with egg, described as egg tempera.

  • PH 'Wessex White Horses'
    Notes from a Preceptor’s Handbook A Preceptor: (OED) 1440 A.D. from Latin praeceptor one who instructs, a teacher, a tutor, a mentor “A horse, a horse and they are all white” Provincial Grand Lodge of Wiltshire Provincial W Bro Michael Lee PAGDC 2017 The White Horses of Wessex Editors note: Whilst not a Masonic topic, I fell Michael Lee’s original work on the mysterious and mystical White Horses of Wiltshire (and the surrounding area) warranted publication, and rightly deserved its place in the Preceptors Handbook. I trust, after reading this short piece, you will wholeheartedly agree. Origins It seems a perfectly fair question to ask just why the Wiltshire Provincial Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter decided to select a white horse rather than say the bustard or cathedral spire or even Stonehenge as the most suitable symbol for the Wiltshire Provincial banner. Most continents, most societies can provide examples of the strange, the mysterious, that have teased and perplexed countless generations. One might include, for example, stone circles, ancient dolmens and burial chambers, ley lines, flying saucers and - today - crop circles. There is however one small area of the world that has been (and continues to be) a natural focal point for all of these examples on an almost extravagant scale. This is the region in the south west of the British Isles known as Wessex. To our list of curiosities we can add yet one more category dating from Neolithic times: those large and mysterious figures dominating our hillsides, carved in the chalk and often stretching in length or height to several hundred feet.

  • Dynamics of Religious Ritual: Migration and Adaptation in Early Medieval Britain
    Dynamics of Religious Ritual: Migration and Adaptation in Early Medieval Britain A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Brooke Elizabeth Creager IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Peter S. Wells August 2019 Brooke Elizabeth Creager 2019 © For my Mom, I could never have done this without you. And for my Grandfather, thank you for showing me the world and never letting me doubt I can do anything. Thank you. i Abstract: How do migrations impact religious practice? In early Anglo-Saxon England, the practice of post-Roman Christianity adapted after the Anglo-Saxon migration. The contemporary texts all agree that Christianity continued to be practiced into the fifth and sixth centuries but the archaeological record reflects a predominantly Anglo-Saxon culture. My research compiles the evidence for post-Roman Christian practice on the east coast of England from cemeteries and Roman churches to determine the extent of religious change after the migration. Using the case study of post-Roman religion, the themes religion, migration, and the role of the individual are used to determine how a minority religion is practiced during periods of change within a new culturally dominant society. ii Table of Contents Abstract …………………………………………………………………………………...ii List of Figures ……………………………………………………………………………iv Preface …………………………………………………………………………………….1 I.

  • The Geoglyphs of Har Karkom (Negev, Israel): Classification and Interpretation
    PAPERS XXIV Valcamonica Symposium 2011 THE GEOGLYPHS OF HAR KARKOM (NEGEV, ISRAEL): CLASSIFICATION AND INTERPRETATION Federico Mailland* Abstract - The geoglyphs of Har Karkom (Negev, Israel): classification and interpretation There is a debate on the possible interpretation of geoglyphs as a form of art, less durable than rock engravings, picture or sculpture. Also, there is a debate on how to date the geoglyphs, though some methods have been proposed. Har Karkom is a rocky mountain, a mesa in the middle of what today is a desert, a holy mountain which was worshipped in the prehis- tory. The flat conformation of the plateau and the fact that it was forbidden to the peoples during several millennia allowed the preservation of several geoglyphs on its flat ground. The geoglyphs of Har Karkom are drawings made on the surface by using pebbles or by cleaning certain areas of stones and other surface rough features. Some of the drawings are over 30 m long. The area of Har Karkom plateau and the southern Wadi Karkom was surveyed and zenithal pictures were taken by means of a balloon with a hanging digital camera. The aerial survey of Har Karkom plateau has reviewed the presence of about 25 geoglyph sites concentrated in a limited area of no more than 4 square km, which is considered to have been a sacred area at the time the geoglyphs were produced and defines one of the major world concentrations of this kind of art. The possible presence among the depictions of large mammals, such as elephant and rhino, already extinct in the area since late Pleistocene, may imply a Palaeolithic dating for some of the pebble drawings, which would make them the oldest pebble drawings known so far.

  • How to Tell a Cromlech from a Quoit ©
    How to tell a cromlech from a quoit © As you might have guessed from the title, this article looks at different types of Neolithic or early Bronze Age megaliths and burial mounds, with particular reference to some well-known examples in the UK. It’s also a quick overview of some of the terms used when describing certain types of megaliths, standing stones and tombs. The definitions below serve to illustrate that there is little general agreement over what we could classify as burial mounds. Burial mounds, cairns, tumuli and barrows can all refer to man- made hills of earth or stone, are located globally and may include all types of standing stones. A barrow is a mound of earth that covers a burial. Sometimes, burials were dug into the original ground surface, but some are found placed in the mound itself. The term, barrow, can be used for British burial mounds of any period. However, round barrows can be dated to either the Early Bronze Age or the Saxon period before the conversion to Christianity, whereas long barrows are usually Neolithic in origin. So, what is a megalith? A megalith is a large stone structure or a group of standing stones - the term, megalith means great stone, from two Greek words, megas (meaning: great) and lithos (meaning: stone). However, the general meaning of megaliths includes any structure composed of large stones, which include tombs and circular standing structures. Such structures have been found in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, North and South America and may have had religious significance. Megaliths tend to be put into two general categories, ie dolmens or menhirs.

  • Wiltshire White Horses (Pdf)
    Wiltshire’s White Horses The Wiltshire Countryside is famous for its white horse chalk hill figures. It is thought that there have been 13 white horses in existence in Wiltshire, but only 8 are sll visible today. The oldest, largest and perhaps the most well known white horse is carved into the chalk hillside across the border in Oxfordshire. Lile is known of the history of the Uffington White Horse, but it is believed to have influenced the cung of the subsequent Wiltshire horses. The first of the Wiltshire white horses to appear was at Westbury in 878AD, although this figure is no longer visible as a new horse was cut on top in 1778. The most recent horse was cut on the hill above Devizes very near to Team Fredericks to celebrate the Millennium. Westbury: The original Westbury white horse was said to be very different in appearance to the horse that appears today. The earlier horse, if local sketches are to be believed, had short legs and a long heavy body, it wore a saddle and had a tail that pointed upwards. In 1778, Lord Abingdon's steward, a Mr. George Gee took it upon himself to re‐design the Westbury horse and changed the appearance of the landscape for ever more. The old horse was completely lost under this new design, and many branded Gee a Barbarian and vandal. Cherhill: A unique aracon of the Cherhill horse was its eye. Measuring four feet in diameter, Aslop filled the eye with glass boles embedded into the turf face down.

  • Signposts to Prehistory
    White Horse Hill Geoglyph & hillfort Signposts to Prehistory Location: ‘White Horse’ Hill (SU 301 866) is in Oxfordshire (historically Berkshire), 2.5 km south of the village of Uffington. The hill forms a part of the scarp of the Berkshire Downs and overlooks the Vale of White Horse. Main period: Bronze Age–Iron Age Access & ownership: The site is managed by the National Trust on behalf of English Heritage and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Whitehorse Hill is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is signposted from the A420 Swindon to Oxford road, and lies next to the B4507 between Ashbury and Wantage. Parking is available but is subject to a charge for non-members (see National Trust website for details). There is also a small viewing point below the Horse on Dragon Hill road, with parking for six blue badge holders only. Uffington Hill is a site of enduring significance. This complex of prehistoric remains (Fig. 1) is set in the striking natural landscape of the chalk downlands, and includes an Iron Age hillfort (Uffington Castle) and the well-known figure of the White Horse. Other features include a Neolithic long barrow and a Bronze Age round barrow, reused in the Roman and Saxon periods respectively. An enclosure and ring ditch lie to the SW of the hillfort and linear ditches across the landscape are thought to represent Bronze Age land Fig. 1. The White Horse Hill landscape from the air. Google divisions. Earth One of Britain’s oldest known routes, the prehistoric Ridgeway, is deflected around the southern side of the hillfort that was probably deliberately sited to control movement along it.

  • The Iron Age Settlement at Highworth Road, Shrivenham in Context
    The Iron Age Settlement at Highworth Road, Shrivenham in Context. (Part 2) Margaret Andrews May 2020 So to the Highworth Road excavations. The final report on this is due soon and I don’t propose to try to second guess what the results are. In essence as many who went to visit the dig or went to the talk afterwards will know, the findings were of a small mostly middle Iron Age settlement, consisting of roundhouses, extending along the ridgeline overlooking the present village position, which seems to extend into the Roman period. In addition Neil has some excellent aerial shots of the site as it was being dug. But what does all of that mean? When was the Iron Age, and in particular the middle Iron Age? What are round houses? Who lived in such a settlement? Was this a site all on its own or was there other Iron Age activity in this area? Dating In Southern Britain the Iron Age is generally taken to start around 700BC, and ends with the Roman invasion of 43AD. Iron working in the Near East had started about 1200BC but the technology took time to travel West. And as with the start of the Bronze Age, the people did not immediately throw out their existing tools and start using iron ones, the transition would have been gradual. Indeed many of the changes seen in Britain during the Iron Age started in the late Bronze Age somewhere around 1200BC. You may well hear archaeologists hedge their bets by talking about some features being “late Bronze Age/early Iron Age”.

  • Vale of the White Horse, Oxfordshire, 11Th-13Th September 2015
    Clifton Antiquarian Club ! Clifton Antiquarian Club Young Archaeologists in the Vale of the White Horse, Oxfordshire, 11th-13th September 2015 September, and time to head into the Iron Age for our late summer camping trip, this year to Uffington and the Vale of the White Horse. We convened at the excellent Britchcombe Farm campsite on Friday evening, accommodation ranging from tents to a caravan to a classic VW camper van. Our campsite, tucked away in the rolling Oxfordshire landscape Clifton Antiquarian Club ! The Vale of the White Horse is a fabulous landscape, dominated by White Horse Hill and the impressive bank of the Iron Age hill fort. The crisp bright chalk of the horse itself etched into the hillside drops sharply down to the rather peculiar and enigmatic Dragon’s Hill, which combine to bring to life many an ancient folk tale and myth that shrouds this landscape. This was to be the destination for our Saturday activities. Gathering by the campsite tea shop after a leisurely breakfast, and brandishing a bundle of flags, our first task was to allocate characters to our Young Archaeologists; something we call “site narrative” - the weaving of historic lives into our agenda. Niamh was Tasciavanus, the patriarch of our Iron Age family. Tasciavanus had two sons, Cunobelinus and Epaticcus allocated to Jaimee and Alice respectively. Cunobelinus’ sons, Caractacus, Adminius and Togodumnus were George, Dylan and Sophie. These were all tribal kings at a fascinating time - the turn of the millennium and the transition from Iron Age to Roman Britain; the point at which British prehistory becomes British history.
