Prehistoric art is a field of study that encompasses the art created by humans before the invention of writing systems. Theories and interpretations of prehistoric art are based on the limited surviving artifacts and the context in which they were found. Archaeological excavations and the use of carbon-14 dating have helped to shed light on the interconnections of art across the world. However, much of the interpretation of prehistoric art remains conjecture due to the small number of surviving artifacts and those that are yet to be found. | |||
