That is a good post SC and just shows that we/they should look and listen to each other. A little of each point of view might take us one step closer to an answer of sorts which surely would be no bad thing. To completely ignore or hide some points of view is pathetic even if some views are far fetched, you can always educate the person/people who made them. Who knows some of their work might reveal something that everybody else has missed. Back in prehistoric times I'm fairly sure things were probably done as a collective or united effort. Something that a lot of people nowadays have forgotten about.


I wish there was a 'like' button here as on Facebook where people seem to enjoy encouraging others - especially where archaeology, rock art and art in general is concerned. I have enjoyed reading all of the posts under this topic, anything that challenges preconceptions and 'fixed' ideas can't be a bad thing. It's about keeping an open mind and being respectful to the efforts of others; I have to admit there does sometimes seem to be an elitism among the those fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to specialise in their field. In some socialist cultures (probably past tense now) a factory worker was considered as valuable as a surgeon. I digress ...
