painted with red and black pigments made from minerals and metals found in the earth.Understanding the Cave ArtWhat else do the caves tell us?Do we know what the carvings and paintings mean?One thing that the caves tell us is that men,women,and children have always drawn pictures and always will.Stone Age people did not live in these caves.They went down into the earth and created pictures that represented something in their lives.Whether they went there just to draw or to be near their ancestors who lived before or to seek help from their Shaman,we may never know.But they were still creating art.This is the only rhinoceros to appear in the Lascaux artwork,even though rhinos lived all over France during the Stone Age.Scientists understood why the colors of Lascauxs paintings remained on the rock walls for 17,000 years.Q:Can you guess why the colors didnt fade?Other cavesThe Cussac cave(top left)in Frances Dordogne region contains engravings that might be older than those

animal fat.But other questions remained.How did the artists manage to carve and paint the glorious pictures at the top of the Painted Gallery?The ceiling in the gallery is very,very high and really impossible to reach.Could those holes halfway up the wall hold the answer?Scientists estimated the size of the artists.They guessed how far the artists were from those high paintings.When they were finished guessing,they deduced the answer.The holes were used for a temporary scaffold that the artists climbed or stood on as they painted.What were Stone Age artists like?How did they create color?What tools did they use?What were they thinking?Luckily the artists left all kinds of clues behind on the ground below their masterpieces.Can you guess what tools they used to carve the stone walls inside the cave?The answer is .they used more than one kind of tool,depending on the kind of rock they were carving.If the rock was very soft,they used a stick or their finger.If the rock was very hard,they carved a pointed or rounded stone tool to cut into the rock face.These shapes appear in the Main Gallery in shades of red,yellow,and violet.This painting shows how artists would have used scaffolding to reach high places.1920What the Boys Found Level SMarcel Ravidat(RAH-vee-dah),three friends,and a dog were exploring the woods around the town of Montignac(MON-tee-nyack),when they discovered the hole.Several years before,a large pine tree had been struck by lightning and tumbled over,exposing a gaping entrance to what turned out to be one of historys most interesting treasures.As the dog barked excitedly,Marcel and his friends dropped to their knees and peered into the hole.Without a light,it was impossible to make out what lay below,but they could tell that something hollow and thrilling was hidden there.They had a feeling that the opening was something other than a burrow or a tunnel created by a mole or a groundhog.The boys could barely contain their excitement.What had they found?Was this a cave,or perhaps a long-buried tomb?They felt they had to follow their instincts and continue their exploration.They made plans to return with a light and some shovels.Do you see what Marcel and his friends are about to discover?56What the Boys Found Level SMarcel Ravidat(RAH-vee-dah),three friends,and a dog were exploring the woods around the town of

painted by a Shaman.Could this mystical leader have gone underground to try to communicate with spirits of people who had lived before?Could he have painted the pictures to ensure a successful hunt?Or could the hunters themselves have created the pictures as a way to bring them luck on their hunt?In other nearby caves,scientists found small and large footprints.Did this mean that children helped the artists or came to visit the Shaman with their parents?One question really befuddled the scientists:How were the artists able to see?It was very dark deep inside the cave,and no one believed that Stone Age people used lighting that could be carried into the cave.So,did the Stone Age people come first and the people who did the paintings follow much later,after fire had been discovered?As with many questions that seem to have no answers,this one was solved by accident.Someone found a piece of sandstone that was hollowed out on one side.Inside the hollowed out circle was some left-over carbon.When the carbon was analyzed and dated,scientis
