Paleolithic 3 Million + 10,000 BCE The Rupture “This is where we should look for the earliest origins, long before the age of metals, because it was about 300,000 years ago that the “fire pit” was starting to be utilized with some stone, wood and bone.. Silo - 2004 Paleolithic 3 Million + 10,000 BCE The term Paleolithic refers to the « Old Stone Age » The Paleolithic period begins with the first evidence of human technology (stone tools) more than three million years ago, and ends with major changes in human societies instigated by the invention of agriculture and animal domestication. Paleolithic, Lower, Middle and Upper Lower Paleolithic 3 Million + - 300,000 BCE the Lower Paleolithic, from the earliest human presence (Homo antecessor and Homo heidelbergensis) to the Holstein interglacial, c. 1.4 to 0.3 million years ago. Middle Paleolithic 300,000 – 40,000 BCE the Middle Paleolithic, marked by the presence of Neanderthals, 300,000 to 40,000 years ago Upper Paleolithic 45,000 – 12,000 BCE the Upper Paleolithic, c. 45,000 to 12,000 years ago, marked by the arrival of anatomically modern humans and extending throughout the Last Glacial Maximum The Aurignacian Period – 40,000-28,000 BCE • The Aurignacian cultural tradition is generally accepted as the first modern humans in Europe. • During this period an explosion of sudden and innovative changes take place. People begin to use musical instruments which indicates possible ceremony, ritual and dance. Plus all forms of art appears at this time which signifies the full emergence of modern symbolic expression. • The most significant development in stone tool making is the refinement of the manufacture of blades struck off conical cores or nuculi. Many different types of tools were made from these long narrow flakes of stone called blades. • This biological and cultural changeover occurred against a background of dramatic climate change. Climate Changes – 40,000-10,000 BCE • Much of Northern Europe was slowly invaded by enormous ice sheets moving down from northern Scandinavia. • As the ice accumulated, sea levels subsided, exposing vast coastal areas; in certain areas these took the form of isthmuses that, for a time, connected islands to the continent. • A maximum low temperature was reached during the last ice age, between approximately 22,000 and 18,000 years ago - the Last Glacial Maximum • This cooling period had a marked effect on the societies of the time: in order to survive over the course of the millennia, human beings had to adapt. Last Glacial Maximum – 22,000 BCE Venus of Hohle Fels 40,000-35,000 BCE • The Venus of Hohle Fels is an Upper Paleolithic Venus figurine made of mammoth ivory that was unearthed in 2008 in Hohle Fels, a cave near Schelklingen, Germany. • It is dated to between 35,000 and 40,000 years ago, belonging to the early Aurignacian, at the very beginning of the Upper Paleolithic. The figure is the oldest undisputed known example of a depiction of a human being. In terms of figurative art only the lion-headed, zoomorphic Löwenmensch figurine is older. The Venus figurine is housed at the Prehistoric Museum of Blaubeuren Venus of Willendorf 28,000-25,000 BCE • The Venus of Willendorf is a Venus figurine estimated to have been made sometime between 25,000- 28,000 BCE.[1] [2] It was found in 1908 at a paleolithic site near Willendorf, a village in Lower Austria near the town of Krems.[5][6] It is carved from an oolitic limestone that is not local to the area, and tinted with red ochre. The figurine is now in the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria Venus of Dolní Věstonice 29,000-25,000 BCE • The Oldest Known Ceramic Artifact • The Venus of Dolní Věstonice was adroitly crafted and made from a single piece of clay • It clearly resembles the other Venus figurines from the Paleolithic era, whose findings stretch all the way from Europe into Eurasia. • Archaeologists had also discovered a range of other figurines in the area, including that of bear, lion, mammoth, horse, fox, and owl. • All of these specimens were made from burnt clay that was possibly fired at relatively ‘lower’ temperatures of 932 to 1,472 degrees Farenheit. Venus of Moravny - 22,800 BCE The Venus of Moravny is made of mammoth tusk ivory and is dated to 22,800 BCE, which places it in upper Paleolithic times. Discovered in Slovakia in 1930 European Climate – 20,000 BC Last Glacial Maximum – 22,000 BCE Mesolithic 10,000 BCE 8,000 BCE In the Mesolithic period, the successors of Paleolithic humans adapted to the RAPID GLOBAL WARMING that constitutes the beginning of our present interglacial period, circa 10,000 BCE ago. Their lifestyle nonetheless continued to be based on hunting, fishing and gathering until the arrival of the Neolithic farmers-breeders around 8,000 BCE The Rupture • The last 10,000 years show the rapid change in uses, habits, customs, and ways of life… this is fine but in the origin of this new cycle a rupture occurred that could never be transferred, that could never be filled… • What needs to be done is to unblock and transfer collective contents from the matriarchal substrate and make them available to the collective. • Silo - 2004 Neolithic 8,000 BCE 2,200 BCE The Neolithic period, which corresponds to the first farming societies, extended from 8,000 to 2,200 BCE. During this time, the nomadic way of life was replaced by a sedentary one. Ceramic technology was used to make pottery and some stone tools, such as axes, were polished. The Acceleration of the Neolithic Era • What I am saying is that the acceleration of the Neolithic era (which covers the last 10,000 years) has given us ceramics , glass and melted metals. • All of this is thanks to the oven, but it was the “fire pit”, from hundreds of thousands of years ago, that prepared the whole stage necessary so that later, one by one, appeared the different historical actors from the Neolithic era… The Fire Pit, Qesem Cave, Israel, 300,000 years Silo - 2004 Seated Woman of Çatalhöyük – 6,000 BCE • Concerning the matriarchal divinities, when the picture is complete animals are never missing and the newly born are always insinuated. • Sometimes she appears in a direct manner, such as a tectonic mother (from the depths) who is giving birth while seated on a throne accompanied by two lions, one on each side. • Silo 2004 Hacilar Goddesses - 5,600 BCE • Hacilar is an early human settlement in southwestern Turkey, • It has been dated back 7,040 BCE at its earliest stage of development. Vinca Culture – 5,500 – 4,500 BCE • The Vinča culture, is the oldest Neolithic culture in South-eastern Europe,(Serbia) dated to the period 5,500– 4,500 BC. Bronze Age 3,000 BCE 800 BCE After Prehistory, which includes the Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic, the Bronze Age is the first period of « Protohistory », also called the « Metal Ages ». Marked by significant technological and social advances, the Bronze Age was an important step in the evolution of European societies. It is characterized by the use of bronze metallurgy, to create this alloy mainly composed of copper and tin. Minoan Snake Goddess – 1,700-1,400 BCE • The figurines are made of faience, a technique for glazing earthenware and other ceramic vessels by using a quartz paste. After firing, this produces bright colors and a lustrous sheen. • This material symbolized the renewal of life in old Egypt, therefore it was used in the funeral cult and in the sanctuaries. Iron Age 1,200 BCE 100 AD The Iron Age, which corresponds to the second part of Protohistory, extends from 1,200 BC to the end of the first century AD. During this period, the regions corresponding to present-day France were gradually frequented by populations with a prolific written language (Greeks and Romans). The local populations (Celts, Gauls, Ligures, Iberians, etc) had little or no writing, on the other hand. Most of our knowledge of these human groups is therefore provided by archaeology, along with a few Greek and Latin texts. Artemis of Ephesus – 125-175 BCE • The Ephesian Artemis, the "great mother goddess" also mentioned in the New Testament (Acts 19), was extremely popular in the ancient world, as we might deduce from the fact that copies of her cult statue have been excavated in many parts of the Roman Empire. • She is related to other Anatolian mother goddesses, like Cybele. Antiquity 800 BCE 500 AD The Roman civilization, which existed for twelve centuries in Italy, from the 8th century BCE to the 5th century AD, was constantly nourished by outside influences and borrowings. It extended outside of Italy as early as the 3rd-2nd centuries BCE. The Rupture “I only wanted to point out the historical antiquity and the profundity of the matriarchal caves where the sacred fire shines, the base of every civilization and all spiritual progress” Silo - 2004.

I have read the University’s definition of plagiarism and the department’s advice on good academic practice. I understand that the consequence of committing plagiarism, if proven and in the absence of mitigating circumstances, may include failure in the Year or Part or removal from the membership of the University. I also certify that neither this piece of work, nor any part of it, has been submitted in connection with another assessment. Signature: Date: i Abstract As small portable forms of statuary, pipeclay objects provide a valuable insight into the religious beliefs and practices of the culturally mixed populations of the Roman provinces. This thesis provides a complete catalogue of the nearly 1000 published and unpublished pipeclay objects found in Britain, including figurines, busts, shrines, animal vessels and masks. This research is the first study of this material conducted since the late 1970s. Pipeclay objects were made in Gaul and the Rhine-Moselle region but not in Britain. Attention thus focuses on where and how the British finds were made by analysing their styles, types, fabrics and any makers’ marks. This reveals how the pipeclay market in Britain was supplied and how these objects were traded, and suggests that cultural rather than production and trade factors were more influential on pipeclay consumption in Britain.

  • Re-Presentations of Palaeolithic Visual Imagery: Simulacra and Their Alternatives'
    Re-Presentations of Palaeolithic Visual Imagery: Simulacra and their Alternatives' Marcia-Anne Dobres Introduction A long-standing methodological and epistemological split within Palaeolithic archaeology has led to what is recognized today as an unrealistic and highly problematic reconstruction of prehistoric people. My discussion is intended to unravel some of the many threads that have been used to weave this simulacrum, this "identical copy for which no original has ever existed" (Jameson 1984:66; following Beaudrillard 1983). The reasons for taking critical stock of ourselves and our interpretations lies in the fact that we unknowingly bring a multitude of paradigmatic and personal biases to our research that often systematically color our methodologies, our epistemologies, and our interpretations. More importantly, however, these biases often go undetected precisely because they are so systematic and ubiquitous. Legitimation of the present by referencing simulacra standing as the past becomes an issue of concern once we recognize the subtle yet powerful ways the past is part of our present. This important point is developed in detail below. It thus remains that we endeavor to be clear about what we say, and to consider long and hard the lines of reasoning we employ in reconstructing prehistoric life. In the spirit of constructive criticism then, this paper proposes to explore some of the sociopolitical and hiellectual contexts in which the study of prehistoric visual imagery has taken place - and continues to take place even today. I seek to understand not-only how these interpretations have been developed, but to consider their implications vis-a-vis the larger sociopolitical framework in which archaeology is practiced.

  • Survey of Paleoanthropological Discoveries in German-Speaking Nations
    Anderson 1 Dylan Anderson Carol Pannocione German 30 September 2019 Behold, der Mann: Survey of Paleoanthropological Discoveries in German-Speaking Nations 1. Introduction The German world, with its turbulent and important history from almost 600,000 years ago to this day, is immensely important to the study of humankind; from then and now. Fossils allow us a glimpse at the early inhabitants of Europe and Germany; tools allow us to see how our ancestors would have survived; and art allows us to see the symbolic capabilities of our ancestors. 2. Fossils and Tools Understanding and researching human prehistory is difficult due to the sheer volume of information. Moreover, there are few tools to examine said prehistory, with dental, isotopic, and mitochondrial analysis being some of the more recent tools. Early tools to examine prehistory would have been fossil analysis, stratigraphy, and comparative anatomy. 2.1. Neandertal 1 Neandertal 1 are a set of bones belonging to an extinct species of hominins now known as Homo sapiens neandertalensis. This was not the first Neandertal found, nor the first Neandertal discovered in the German world, but it was the first fossil to be named as Neandertal. After being discovered in 1856, the fossil was promptly given to local German teacher and naturalist Johann Carl Fuhlrott. Fuhlrott, along with German anatomist Hermann Schaaffhausen, published a joint Anderson 2 paper in 1857 in a German society for natural history posited that the skull belonged to a new species related to humans (Schaaffhausen, 1857). Their views were the subject of intense scholarly debate. At the time, the biological sciences were dominated by German cellular biologist Rudolf Virchow, who despised the theory of evolution and claimed Neandertal 1 was a human with a serious deformation (Glick, 1988).

  • Whittaker-Annotated Atlbib July 31 2014
    1 Annotated Atlatl Bibliography John Whittaker Grinnell College version of August 2, 2014 Introduction I began accumulating this bibliography around 1996, making notes for my own uses. Since I have access to some obscure articles, I thought it might be useful to put this information where others can get at it. Comments in brackets [ ] are my own comments, opinions, and critiques, and not everyone will agree with them. I try in particular to note problems in some of the studies that are often cited by others with less atlatl knowledge, and correct some of the misinformation. The thoroughness of the annotation varies depending on when I read the piece and what my interests were at the time. The many articles from atlatl newsletters describing contests and scores are not included. I try to find news media mentions of atlatls, but many have little useful info. There are a few peripheral items, relating to topics like the dating of the introduction of the bow, archery, primitive hunting, projectile points, and skeletal anatomy. Through the kindness of Lorenz Bruchert and Bill Tate, in 2008 I inherited the articles accumulated for Bruchert’s extensive atlatl bibliography (Bruchert 2000), and have been incorporating those I did not have in mine. Many previously hard to get articles are now available on the web - see for instance postings on the Atlatl Forum at the Paleoplanet webpage http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/forums/26/t/WAA-Links-References.html and on the World Atlatl Association pages at http://www.worldatlatl.org/ If I know about it, I will sometimes indicate such an electronic source as well as the original citation, but at heart I am an old-fashioned paper-lover.

  • A New Hypothesis on the Creation of the Hohle Fels “Venus” Figurine
    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 « Art mobilier pléistocène » A new hypothesis on the creation of the Hohle Fels “Venus” figurine Gillian MORRISS-KAY* Female figurines, or “Venuses”, are well known from the Gravettian culture (Cohen 2003; Conard & Wolf 2010, and references therein). Their geographical spread extends from western France to Siberia, and their age from 24-29,000 years ago (kya). They are typically characterised by enlarged breasts and belly. If the face is depicted at all, it is purely stylised; in some examples, the head is not represented, or appears to have been broken off. The legs are usually fused in the midline and the feet absent. It seems likely that they are symbolically related to fertility and/or pregnancy, perhaps as amulets to protect against the dangers of childbirth; fingerprints on clay examples from Pavlovian sites indicate that they were made by women (Caldwell 2010, and references therein). They are commonly around 10cm in height. In 2008 a female figurine was excavated from Hohle Fels Cave in the Swabian Jura, Southwest Germany (Conard 2009). Excavations in this cave had already yielded three non-human figurative carvings (Conard 2003) and the oldest known musical instruments, bone and ivory flutes (Conard et al. 2009). Calibrated radiocarbon dating of the charcoal-rich material around the figurine yielded dates ranging from 36 to 40 kya. Given its position at the base of the Aurignacian deposit (28-40 kya), the older end of the range is thought to be more likely.

  • Non-Figurative Cave Art in Northern Spain
    THE CAVES OF CANTABRIA: NON-FIGURATIVE CAVE ART IN NORTHERN SPAIN by Dustin Riley A thesis submitted To the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfllment of the requirments for the degree of Master of Arts, Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland January, 2017 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract This project focuses on non-figurative cave art in Cantabrian (Spain) from the Upper Palaeolithic (ca. 40,000-10,000). With more than 30 decorated caves in the region, it is one of the world’s richest areas in Palaeolithic artwork. My project explores the social and cultural dimensions associated with non-figurative cave images. Non-figurative artwork accounts for any image that does not represent real world objects. My primary objectives are: (1) To produce the first detailed account of non-figurative cave art in Cantabria; (2) To examine the relationships between figurative and non-figurative images; and (3) To analyse the many cultural and symbolic meanings associated to non- figurative images. To do so, I construct a database documenting the various features of non-figurative imagery in Cantabria. The third objective will be accomplished by examining the cultural and social values of non-figurative art through the lens of cognitive archaeology. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank and express my gratitude to the members of the Department of Archaeology at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador for giving me the opportunity to conduct research and achieve an advanced degree. In particular I would like to express my upmost appreciation to Dr. Oscar Moro Abadía, whose guidance, critiques, and continued support and confidence in me aided my development as a student and as a person.
