| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This is a prehistoric art history and culture reference guide. It examines the following periods of art: Middle Paleolithic art, Upper Paleolithic art, Eastern art history, history of Chinese art, prehistoric Korea, Jeulmun pottery period, Mumun pottery period, rock drawings in Valcamonica, Celtic art, Saharan rock art, Chavin culture, Paracas culture, Nazca culture, Moche, Chimu culture, Sican culture, Inca architecture, indigenous peoples in Colombia, indigenous peoples in Brazil, indigenous Australian art, Bradshaws, and more. In the history of art, prehistoric art is all art produced in preliterate, prehistorical cultures beginning somewhere in very late geological history, and generally continuing until that culture either develops writing or other methods of record-keeping, or it makes significant contact with another culture that has. Many indigenous peoples from around the world continued to produce artistic works distinctive to their geographic area and culture, until exploration and commerce brought record-keeping methods to them.
