Pre History

 

Pre history (6500000-1000 BC)

The artifacts from this time period can date back as far as 6.5 million years ago but a lot of them are from more resent times. People back then might not have modified  things a whole lot and just used things that they found in nature as that found it like a log as a bench or a stone as a table. tools that we have found in this time period appear that they were made with intentional design it makes you think that people back this cared about how things looked and not just did they work or not. The stone ages can be split in to 2 groups Paleolithic (6500000-9000 BC) and Neolithic (9000-2000 BC) also included in pre history is the bronze age (4000-1000 BC)  

Paleolithic 

during the Paleolithic time period there were these caves in Lascaux France these caves were covered in paintings and engravings of animals and symbols.

    You made an interesting point about how these ancient people used objects in nature but still were intentional about aesthetics in order to create beautiful and functional designs.

    I like how you broke down the prehistoric period into Paleolithic, Neolithic, and Bronze Age. The note about people using natural objects like logs and stones as furniture was a great detail.
