Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: nThe image of Man in paleolithic sculpture, his fourth book in the seriesShapes in Evolution, Pietro Gaiettointroduces his readers topaleolithic anthropomorphic stone sculpture unlocking a world that is not well known because it has been outshined by the beauty of cave paintings which depict animals with color and movement. Pietro Gaietto, an expert in this field of studies, states with passion that paleolithic sculptures are scientifically important because they offer depictions of the heads of extinct humans, including species that are not well known, or not known at all, due to the scarcity of skeletal remains. Presented almost as a teaching manual, with detailed attention to each piece, this study of paleolithic stone sculptures is extremely interesting because Gaietto's discoveries serve to integrate andenlargestudies on the evolution of man's physical traits. Every sculpture is amply illustrated and explained.

This study provides an overview of such objects in the Pavlovian, an Upper Palaeolithic archaeological culture in Central Europe. The author describes the sites, their chronology and interpretations. The objects, belonging to the oldest "ceramic" objects in the world, are analysed in terms of raw material, technology, form and spatial distribution. In the second part, the author discusses three themes in the interpretative history: the question of representation and realism, the relationship between anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figurines, and the issue of the purport of the find location itself.

Book excerpt: In this book prehistoric archaeologist Pietro Gaietto reviews 200 years of research on prehistoric man, tracing the two-million year journey from Homo habilis to modern man. Comparing skeletal remains and skulls with Paleolithic stone sculptures helps explain how different human civilizations came about and prevailed, in parallel or in association. The book uses skeletal finds to explain how one human species overlapped with another. In addition, little-known anthropomorphic sculpture from the Paleolithic is presented to illustrate the physical evolution of man and aspects of prehistoric behavior similar to modern man, with a careful consideration of how human intelligence evolved.

Book Synopsis Roads of Arabia by : Musée du Louvre
Download or read book Roads of Arabia written by Musée du Louvre and published by Somogy Art Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Documenting the recent studies conducted on a highly original, beautiful, and long-neglected site by excavation teams, this exploration reveals the hidden treasures of a near-eastern civilization. More than 350 art masterpieces, mostly unknown to a foreign public and dating from prehistoric times to modern days, introduce the life and culture of a land of exchanges located at the crossroad of major civilizations--including the Mediterraneans, Mesopotamians, and Indians--which today constitutes Saudi Arabia. The numerous testimonies include the necropolis of Hegra, a smaller version of Petra inscribed on the UNESCO World heritage list; Mecqua, the fortress of Teima, which shows strong Mesopotamian and Egyptian influence; and the Dedan site, which is characterized by monumental sculpture of Ptolemaic inspiration. Precious dishes and jewelry, monumental sculptures, temples, and palaces ornate with frescoes fill the pages of this sumptuous examination.
Book Synopsis The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal by : George Nash
Download or read book The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal written by George Nash and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prehistoric Rock Art of Portugal presents significant interpretive perspectives in Portuguese rock art research and offers an excellent representation of core rock art areas, along with current thinking and interpretations. The various chapters deliver a personal approach to the many issues, themes and approaches that are embedded within the rock art of the outpost of western Atlantic Europe. Ethnographical perspectives have often dominated the study of rock art but unlike other well-studied regions, the western Iberian Peninsula is absent of an ethnographical or ethno-historical past and therefore the production of rock art can only be archaeologically assessed. Thus, the work promotes interpretive perspectives on Portuguese rock art, illustrating the richness, chronology and context of these unique artistic expressions and explores the variability of rock art imagery and the diversity of landscapes and social contexts in which it was produced. Although focusing on Portuguese rock art the book includes a number of universal themes that will appeal to a broad range of scholars researching in archaeology and anthropology, history of art, as well as professionals engaged in rock art heritage and conservation.
Book Synopsis Catalog of the Gaietto Collection by : Pietro Gaietto
Download or read book Catalog of the Gaietto Collection written by Pietro Gaietto and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of this catalog came after an auspicious placement of these sculptures in museums of prehistoric archaeology in those regions of Italy where the sculptures were found. Their division into 12 types that were produced progressively over two million years is of use to scholars; it allows us to visually interpret the evolution of the human species as represented in the sculptures, as well as types of stone processing, the sculptures' meaning (as religious objects) and lastly, the evolution in stylistic deformation, that is artistic fashion.

Book Synopsis The Nature of Culture by : Miriam N. Haidle
Download or read book The Nature of Culture written by Miriam N. Haidle and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume introduces a model of the expansion of cultural capacity as a systemic approach with biological, historical and individual dimensions. It is contrasted with existing approaches from primatology and behavioural ecology; influential factors like differences in life history and demography are discussed; and the different stages of the development of cultural capacity in human evolution are traced in the archaeological record. The volume provides a synthetic view on a) the different factors and mechanisms of cultural development, and b) expansions of cultural capacities in human evolution beyond the capacities observed in animal culture so far. It is an important topic because only a volume of contributions from different disciplines can yield the necessary breadth to discuss the complex subject. The model introduced and discussed originates in the naturalist context and tries to open the discussion to some culturalist aspects, thus the publication in a series with archaeological and biological emphasis is apt. As a new development the synthetic model of expansion of cultural capacity is introduced and discussed in a broad perspective.

Book Synopsis Art of the Mammoth Hunters by : Mariana Gvozdover
Download or read book Art of the Mammoth Hunters written by Mariana Gvozdover and published by Oxbow Books Limited. This book was released on 1995 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unique examples of Paleolithic art and an extremely rich collection of stone and bone implements make the site of Avdeevo one of the most interesting and important of the Upper Paleolithic on the Russian plain. These assemblages point to clear connections with sites such as Willendorf and Dolni Vestonice in central Europe as well as with the similar Russian site at Kostenki. The worked bone and art objects include bone awls and decorated points, burnishers, diadems, trinkets and beads. There are fragments of bone with engraved ornament; there are utilitarian objects with anthropomorphic and zoomorphic decoration; there are figurines of mammoth and horse; and there are fourteen female figures with distinctive artistic characteristics that distinguish them from similar material from other sites. The descriptions and illustrations of all these objects have been prepared by Mariana Gvozdover who began excavating at Avdeevo in 1972; they are here edited for publication by Paul Bahn.
Book Synopsis The Generation of Life by : Michael A. Susko
Download or read book The Generation of Life written by Michael A. Susko and published by AllrOneofUs Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores the meaning of imagery found on rocks, especially from deep caves of the paleolithic era. It approaches the problem of interpretation by focusing on a key concept, that art and ritual generate life. A novel hypothesis is also offered that creativity emerges from a tension between chaotic elements and more formed shapes. Past interpretive frames, statistical studies, and indigenous parallels are summoned to examine these archetypal expressions. We invite you to explore indigenous imagery as an adventure that opens up your own spiritual dimension and earliest roots.
