Palaeolithic cave art in Borneo
Nature, 2018Figurative cave paintings from the Indonesian island of Sulawesi date to at least 35,000 years ago (ka) and hand-stencil art from the same region has a minimum date of 40 ka1. Here we show that similar rock art was created during essentially the same time period on the adjacent island of Borneo.

Beyond the Palaeolithic: Figurative final Palaeolithic art in Mediterranean Iberia
Quaternary International, 2020Abstract This paper is part of a broad special issue exploring the Cultures of the Pleistocene-Holocene transition in Western Europe. In this context our aim is to offer a state of the art review of the figurative Palaeolithic art spanning the period between 15000 and 11500 cal BP (12500-10000 BP) in the Mediterranean Iberia.

Recent Studies on Palaeolithic Art
Cambridge Archaeological Journal, 1996We print here the text of the Sixth McDonald Lecture, which Dr Jean Clottes delivered in Cambridge in November 1995. Dr Clottes is well-known as a leading figure in the study of Palaeolithic art, and has been closely involved with the recent discoveries at the Grotte Cosquer and Grotte Chauvet.

Antiquity, 1961
It is a curious reflection that although palaeolithic art has been known and recognized as such for over a century, and despite the fact that during this time an enormous volume of literature has accumulated on the subject, yet the publications consist almost exclusively of articles dealing with limited aspects.

European Art: the Palaeolithic Legacy?
Cambridge Archaeological Journal, 1997The recent discovery of open-air rock engravings in the Côa valley of northern Portugal has been followed by a vigorous debate over their true age. On grounds of style and of stylistic parallels, many rock art specialists attribute the Côa engravings (and similar carvings at a handful of other sites in Iberia and southern France) to the Upper ...

Ecological Interpretations of Palaeolithic Art.
Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 1991To describe, let alone explain, the paintings, engravings and sculpture of the Upper Palaeolithic as ‘adaptations’ may sound absurd. These are products of the human mind — a world of symbols and dreams, myths and fantasies. So to suggest that this art can be understood in an ecological framework may strike one as facile.

Uranium–thorium dating method and Palaeolithic rock art
Quaternary International, 2017Abstract Dramatic progress was seen in 14C-dating with the introduction of accelerator mass spectroscopy (AMS) which made possible the direct dating of prehistoric artworks painted or drawn with charcoal. However, in the case of engravings and red paintings, only indirect methods can be used that allow us to date deposits that have covered the works ...

WHO AND WHY IN PALAEOLITHIC ART
Oxford Journal of Archaeology, 1989Summary. No consideration has ever been given to the possibility that women may have had a part in the execution of European Upper Palaeolithic art; however, an examination of the history of research in this field suggests that preconceptions, prejudice, and the acceptance of unproved theories have perhaps been responsible for the view that it was a ...

Palaeolithic Parietal Art and its Topographical Context.
Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 1991Our purpose is to examine the hypothesis that Palaeolithic parietal image sites in south-west Europe model or map a specific area of the terrain around them in so far as that terrain was useful to the people who made the images. So far as we are aware the hypothesis has not received wide attention (Eastham 1979; Kehoe 1990).
