Prehistoric art
1) Paleolithic art dates from 40,000-8,000 BCE and includes cave paintings and portable sculptures. Cave paintings from the Lascaux Caves in France dating to 15,000-13,000 BCE feature realistic images of animals painted using natural pigments.
2) Neolithic art emerged around 8,000 BCE as people transitioned to settled agricultural societies. Neolithic architecture included megaliths and structures like Stonehenge built from large stones without mortar.
3) Theories suggest Paleolithic cave art was used for hunting rituals, animal worship, or shamanism but the true purpose remains unclear.
Prehistoric Art
The oldest surviving art dates back 30,000-33,000 years ago and includes sculptures made from bone, ivory, stone, and antlers. Many of these sculptures are assumed to be fertility figures. Cave paintings from 15,000 years ago often depict animals pierced with arrows, possibly representing hunting rituals. Megalithic structures from 4,000-6,000 years ago, like Stonehenge and Newgrange, had astronomical alignments and were likely used for spiritual ceremonies. Prehistoric peoples transported huge stones by leveraging them onto wooden sledges pulled by large groups of people.

LU 2: Prehistoric Art
The document provides an overview of prehistoric art from the Stone Age periods. It describes the Paleolithic Era as spanning from 2.5 million to 8,000 BCE, where the first works of art emerged around 38,000 BCE from Homo sapiens sapiens in Australia, Africa and Europe. Cave paintings from this period found in France are described, some depicting realistic animal images. The document then outlines the transition to the Neolithic period around 6,000 BCE, where agriculture was developed and more permanent structures like Stonehenge in England were erected.
Prehistoric Arts
Prehistoric art spans from 2 million years ago to around 1500 BCE and is divided into three periods: Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic. During the Paleolithic period, nomadic hunter-gatherers lived in caves and created stone tools and rock carvings. The Mesolithic saw the gradual domestication of plants and animals and the formation of settled communities. In the Neolithic, people lived in villages, cultivated crops, and developed pottery, weaving, and early civilizations. Significant artworks from these periods include cave paintings from Lascaux and Altamira, engraved lamps and figurines, and megalithic structures like Stonehenge and New Grange.

1) The earliest known artists were Cro-Magnon peoples from 30,000 BCE who lived in caves and hunted animals.
2) In 1879, Maria de Sautuola discovered prehistoric cave paintings in Altamira Cave in Spain, the first such paintings ever found.
3) Cave paintings from the Stone Age have been found across Western Europe, depicting animals like bison, horses, and hand prints, though the exact purpose is unknown but may have been related to hunting magic, spirituality, or memory.

Prehistoric art was created before written history, between 35,000 BCE to 1,500 BCE. Cro-Magnon peoples from 30,000 BCE are considered the first artists, living in caves and hunting animals. In 1879, the first prehistoric cave paintings were discovered in the Altamira Cave in Spain, featuring polychrome paintings of animals and human hands. Cave paintings from this period have also been found across Western Europe, featuring line drawings and handprints in red ochre and charcoal. The paintings may have been used for hunting rituals or to represent spiritual beliefs.
Prehistoric Art
This document provides an overview of prehistoric art before written history. It describes how early humans first emerged in Africa and then spread across the globe. The prehistoric period is broken down into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic ages defined by the materials used like stone, bronze, and iron. Some of the most famous prehistoric cave paintings were found at sites like Lascaux, Altamira, and Chauvet Caves between 15,000-30,000 BCE. Sculptures and figurines from this era often depicted animals and fertility goddesses. Neolithic peoples began constructing permanent structures like mammoth bone houses and sites like Stonehenge that may have served ceremonial purposes.

MAPEH 9 Ancient Art
The document discusses ancient art from prehistoric times. [1] Cave walls were the first canvases where humans expressed artistry by painting herds of animals in earth colors or charcoal. [2] These images were believed to have been part ritual magic to inspire hunting success or increase animal populations. [3] As humans settled into communities, they developed new crafts like carving, with statues symbolizing fertility, like the Venus of Willendorf figurine.
Rock art
The document discusses different forms of rock art including pictographs, petroglyphs, and earth figures. Pictographs are painted designs made using minerals like red ochre, charcoal, or white chalk. Petroglyphs are carved designs made using hammerstones. Earth figures are large motifs made on the ground by scraping away pebbles or piling up rocks. Rock art was used to mark territory, record histories, or in rituals. Cave art includes painted drawings on cave walls, often of hands or animals. The oldest dated rock art is in Europe, Africa, North and South America, and Australia, ranging from 28,000 to 40,000 years old.

Pollock and Snow "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape, Session One: Setting Expec...National Information Standards Organization (NISO)
This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
