Trialeti Rock Art Site Complex : Change and Continuity from Pre-Historic to Historical Periods [text/pdf 16pp] #RockArt #Caucasus #mesolithic #neolithic #chalcolithic rockartresearch.com/index.php/

rockartresearch.comCAUCASUS IN CONTEXT: CHANGE AND CONTINUITY FROM PRE-HISTORIC TO HISTORICAL PERIODS AT THE TRIALETI ROCK ART SITE COMPLEX | Rock Art ResearchTrialeti is one of the key rock art sites in the Caucasus region. It provides a consistent reference for the rock art heritage of the southern Caucasus. This site offers diverse data to interpret the symbolic production and distribution in the area between Europe and Asia over several millennia. In this paper, we present the results of the most recent investigations carried out in 2022 that reappraise the significance of the Trialeti rock art site within the region. Our investigations focused on the specific area where rock art panels were documented nearly half a century ago. The surrounding landscape, characterised by volcanic-origin non-karstic caves and rockshelters, held significant interest for pre-Historic and Historical societies.

This is fascinating.

In particular the discovery that our ancient hunter-gathering ancestors had ritual practices we cannot comprehend:

I thought it might be useful to look at Cheddar Man as it appears so often in #archaeological groups and is like catnip for the far right & white supremacists.

Cheddar man was found in Gough’s Cave, #Somerset in 1903 & dates to the #Mesolithic, some 10,000 years ago. Advances in #aDNA meant his skeleton was tested. There was also a bust being made for a TV prog, which used standard techniques to reconstruct his profile + physical features.

Thread.
