What Do The Artifacts Tell Us About The Lives Of Early Humans?

Artifacts could tell us many things about early humans like where they lived, how they lived and when they lived. Cave art tools are rocks that are used for either scraping things off the walls and or drawing things on walls. Or hunting for food gathering for food making other tools. Caveman have also found that if you rub minerals together you can make powder to make paints. Caveman used alot of objects to paint on walls. They would use objects like rocks to scrape things off walls and to draw on walls. Then they would use minerals to rub together to make powder as the paint.


Caveman painted pictures of many cave paintings but I will only explain 1 picture called the hall of bulls. I think that the caveman who made this was from France because the picture was found in France. In the painting the hall of bulls there are horses and bulls. I think that scientist called it the hall of bulls because the paintings must have been on the walls of a hall and there were alot of bulls and it looks like the horses are running away from the bulls.


Caveman made spear throwers. One spear thrower has a leaping horse on it and is about 15cm. It was found in France and scientists believed that it was good luck to the hunters. Caveman also made a sculpture of 2 bulls and scientist believed that it was for children's ceremonies. Caveman use some art tools for food like rocks to cut the food.
