Ancient artifacts tell us about the lives of early humans because if you find an ancient sculpture you know that people were able to sculpt a long time ago.It also shows that in prehistoric times people weren't as dumb as they are made out to be.

Spear Thrower,it has a carved horse near the top of it and it looks like a type of staff that the leader of a prehistoric group might have held while doing something religous. It is in color and has desighns carved around the top underneath the horse.What I learned is that ancient people also had a sense of religion and they were good hunters compared to us nowadays.

Clay Sculptures,they  look like buffalo or bison  and are grey in color. They are also cracked because they have been worn down by falling rocks, and other natural happenings.they do not have many details but you can still see that they arte supposed to be bison.What I learned from this is that in prehistoric times people did'nt use dyes or paints to colour their sculptures I also learned that the prehistoric people usually made sculptures or paintings to describe an event or religous happening.

Cave Painting of Animals,this picture has a herd of animals running away from another There are many colors and it is quite descriptive although the shapes of animals are not so clear. The animals look like they might be horses but they could also be deer.I learned that prehistoric people, although strong didn't make the clearest pictures.

Those are some things about prehistoric pictures that I hope will help you to learn more about prehistoric times.
