Archeologists studied artifacts from early humans to learn about how the cave people lived. One of the reasons is because of the cave paintings.
One of the Artifacts was found in france, deep in side the cave in a low room. The clay sculpture of the two bisons was 23 inches long and made 10 to 14 thousand years ago and made out of stone, with cracks in the golden clay bisons. There was also a blue light in the back ground. The two main ideas about these cave sculptures are because the cave belonged to a certain clan and there were special ceremony called the coming of age, deep inside the cave. one small clue that the scientists found was foot prints of young people have been found near this sculpture.
Another painting was the cave painting of the animals. There were seven deer and a chest in the background. The uneven walls made it look like a tunnel. This painting was created over 17,000 years ago. Social scientists believe that artists wanted to capture the "magical powers" of the animals. It was painted because they believed in spirits.
By studying all these artifacts Archeologists learned about the life of early humans.
