2 1. Apollo 11 stones. Namibia. c.25,500-25,300 BCE. Charcoal on stone. 7 painted stone (quartzite) slabs found in a cave Small scale (4.5 x 5 in) portable! Painted animals Felines? Bovids? Zebra? Stylized forms: all in strict profile Shows the most info about the animal Were buried deliberately (able to radiocarbon date the burial, but not the stones) Radiocarbon dating is a method for determining the age of an object containing organic material by using the properties of radiocarbon (14. C), a radioactive isotope of carbon. Some of the oldest known artworks in the world
3 2. Great Hall of the Bulls. Lascaux, France. Paleolithic Europe. 15,000-13,000 BCE. Rock Painting.

5 1. All theories have some flaws, and there's probably no single explanation. BUT likely understood as the image having power Although the cave paintings in the Great Hall of the Bulls at Lascaux were originally interpreted as depictions of hunting scenes, they have more recently been interpreted as paintings intended to: a. Warn people about dangerous animals threatening villages b. Portray scenes of animal domestication c. Document a series of animal-based rituals d. Tell a mythic narrative of human origins

13 5.Bushel with ibex motifs.susa, Iran BCE. Painted terra cotta. Neolithic. 12 h Register: horizontal band of decoration Terracotta: unglazed earthenware
14 From Mesopotamian settlement From secondary burial (reinterment of remains) No written records! A grave good, but did it originally serve another purpose? Shows prosperity of neolithic city Stylized animals Aquatic birds, running dogs, ibex/goat Form of animals echo or emphasize shape of the pot Other meaning to shapes? Use of registers to divide space Probably hand-built (no wheel)
15 6. Anthropomorphic stele. Arabian Peninsula. Fourth millennium BCE. sandstone Anthropomorphic: having human characteristics Stele: upright stone slab

22
23 Built in at least three phases: 36o henge + stones or posts Addition of wooden posts (maybe a roof), burials Bluestones (from Wales) and 30 Sarsen stones in an interior circle +lintels Stones were originally brighter and whiter
24 Who planned and executed this? What was their society like? Who was buried there? What was its function? Heel Stone aligns with sunrise of summer solstice (longest day of the year)
25 9. The Ambum Stone, Ambum Valley, Enga Province, Papua New Guinea c.1500 BCE, Greywacke
26 9. The Ambum Stone, Ambum Valley, Enga Province, Papua New Guinea c.1500 BCE, Greywacke One of the earliest pieces of Pacific art Disc. in a cave in 1960s Similar to animal-shaped pestles from same period, but carved at a much higher level Greywacke is very difficult to carve Maybe depicts an anteater?

36 Made from materials on site Show change and decay over time Entropy Difficult to reach: idea of pilgrimage Meant to be walked on, experienced Shape found in nature Themes of creation, history, change
37 As I looked at the site, it reverberated out to the horizons only to suggest an immobile cyclone while flickering light made the entire landscape appear a quake. A dormant earthquake spread into the fluttering stillness, into a spinning sensation without movement. This site was a rotary that enclosed itself in an immense roundness. From that gyrating space emerged the possibility of the Spiral Jetty. No ideas, no concepts, no systems, no structures, no abstractions could hold themselves together in the actuality of that evidence. My dialectics of site and nonsite whirled into an indeterminate state, where solid and liquid lost themselves in each other. It was as if the lake became the edge of the sun, a boiling curve, an explosion rising into a fiery prominence. Matter collapsing into the lake mirrored in the shape of a spiral. No sense wondering about classifications and categories, there were none."
