My favourite topic of archaeology is the rock art, which are the art representation of the past people. The rock art can be petroglyphs or cave paintings. The first are incisions over rock, this can be realized with artefacts of bone, antler or others rock pointed. The second type of art is realized with natural pigments which extracted of blood, flower or vegetation.
I like very much this theme because I think the rock art is the expression of the people. The result of ritual activities was the rock art, and many times, the rock art represents the “fosfenos”. These ones are the visual impressions after of consume hallucinogenic, and then the rock art can help to interpret the symbolic aspect of past societies.
