What
would this engraving of a horse have meant to you 12,000
years ago?
The
drawing of this horse on a bone fragment from Robin Hood
Cave reminds us that the hunters of the Last Ice Age were
also artists. Although there are few works to show their
creativity in Britain, many are known from France, Spain,
central Europe, Russia, Ukraine and Siberia. Sculptures,
engraved drawings, paintings, and jewellery are often found
with tools and weapons made by full modern humans after
about 35,000 years ago. Explore culture and creativity using
