The Use of Animals in Birth Protection Rituals and Possible Uses of Stone Figurines from the Central Sahel
all photos by the author, except where otherwise notedThis article will use fresh ethnographic testimony from the Sahel concerning the role of animals as spiritual protectors during births to advance an hypothesis that figurines in several groups of stone sculptures from the south-central Sahara or the adjacent Sahel may have been used in historic, protohistoric, and even, in the case of one group (IV), prehistoric times as birthing amulets. It w…

Identification de la première sculpture animalière en Île-de-France
Cet article décrit la première sculpture animalière paléolithique que l’on connaisse en Île-de- France, suivie d’exemples d’images qui semblent destinés à être lues par phases sur des sites tels que Font-de‐Gaume, Laugerie-Basse, Isturitz, Saint-Cirq‐du-Bugue et Guy‐Martin. Elles incluent : Le vaste panneau de Ségognole 3. La grotte est connue pour la représentation d’une vulve entre deux gravures ténues de chevaux, mais le plus grand élément gra…
An historic sign, possible Mesolithic menhir, DStretch, and problems in dating rock art to the Sauveterrian in the Massif de Fontainebleau
The Identification of the First Paleolithic Animal Sculpture in the Ile-de-France
A 190cm bison sculpture exists beside Segognole 3?s vulva and horses. The deep grooves making up parts of the vulva and bison are technically identical, making them likely Paleolithic contemporaries, but differ from the light incisions making up the horses. Compositional analyses reveal how the frieze resembles ones at Guy-Martin and Roc-aux-Sorciers. A survey of representations with some natural contours shows that mammoths and bison seem to be …
A Possible New Class of Prehistoric Musical Instruments from New England
With one exception, which has been described as a suspended 'kiva bell,' long stone rods have been interpreted throughout the archaeological literature of North America as whetstones or pestles. Two particularly long rods in a collection of prehistoric artifacts from New England raise questions as to the real use of some of these objects. The prevailing interpretations of the two artifacts may be incorrect, or at least incomplete, because the rod…
