The people who used the atlatl
left behind wonderful art in the caves and on nearby rock formations. They
created this art both by pecking the rock (petroglyphs) and by painting (pictographs). While we do not understand the significance of their art,
it is beautiful to observe and fun to speculate about its meaning. Listed

the others are in America. The Cave at Lascaux This is an incredible website; once you have "explored" the opening screen by moving around with your mouse, click anywhere to continue.
