In this lesson, you will compare the technology in the art of now and the past. In addition, you will learn and compare the technology and the art in each generation.

3. EARLY ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY

4. WITH ART

5. WORDS TO KNOW
Nomads
• High level people.
• No permanent home to live.
• Move from place to place to survive.
• Searching and hunting for food.
Hunter – Gatherer
• Depending on searching of food.
• Depending on hunting animals.
• Depending on collecting resources.

6. INTRODUCTION
Early modern humans quickly distinguished
themselves from their ancestors, who had spent
most of their time just surviving. As inventors
and artists, more advanced humans stepped up
the pace of cultural changes.

7. WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT IT?
Early Advances in Technology
And Art Prehistoric hunters and gatherers Increased their food income by
using tools Made from various natural resources,
100+ types of tools Leads to population boom Creativity sets in Basic jewelry is created and
developed Paintings on walls are initiated They turn 3-D from paintings to sculptures And the Neolithic Ice
Man An accidental and very fruitful discovery by German hikers near Austria Gave scientists firsthand looks
at
technology of early toolmakers
and the way these people lived Was discovered, preserved in ice,
with his toolkit next to him Contained a longbow and arrows, a dagger, an axe and a medicine bag

10. TOOLS NEEDED TO SURVIVE DURING PALEOLITHIC
AGE

11. TOOLS NEEDED TO SURVIVE
(these tools increased their food supply and survival)
1. Stone tools: used to meet people's three basic needs of food, shelter, and clothing
2. Special spear: Allow them to kill animal with it at far distances
3. Digging sticks: help food gatherers pry plants loose at the roots

12. TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION OF EARLY HUMANS

13. DECORATION TOOLS
• Early modern humans used stone, bone, and wood to fashion more than
hundred different tools.
• These expanded tool kits included knives to kill and butcher game.
• They use Fish hooks and harpoons to catch fish.
• A chisel-like cutter was designed to make other tools.
• Cro-Magnons used bone needles to sew clothing made of animal hides.

14. EARLY MODERN HUMAN CULTURE
Early modern Homo sapiens in Africa and Southwest Asia 100,000 years ago made tools that were similar
to those of the Neanderthals and other late archaic humans. These were mostly simple Mousterian-like
Levallois flake and core tools. However, by 90,000-75,000 years ago some modern humans began
producing new kinds of artifacts that were revolutionary enough to warrant their being placed into a
different Paleolithic stage--the Upper Paleolithic. This was the height of technical sophistication during the
Old Stone Age. These innovative developments are most well known from European sites, but similar
advances were occurring elsewhere in the Old World and later in the New World as well. Foreshadowing
these new technologies were harpoon-like bone projectile points in use by at least 75,000 years ago
in West Central Africa. By 70,000 years ago in South Africa, stone was being prepared for flaking by heat-
treating. This made it easier to flake and shape into finer cutting and puncturing tools. These innovations
apparently were unknown to Neanderthals and other archaic human populations.

15. PALEOLITHIC TOOL TRADITIONS

17,000 Magdalenian
21,000 Solutrean
27,000 Gravettian
33,000 + Aurignacian/chateperronian
Middle Paleolithic (in Europe) 75,000 + Mousterian

17. TOOLS THAT LADIES AND
MEN IN PALEOLITHIC AGE
USE FOR DECORATION?
• Necklace of seashells
• Lion teeth
• Bear claws
They also carved small
realistic sculptures of
animals that inhabited their
world
