הקדמה

עד לאחרונה נטען בספרות המדעית שלנאנדרטלים לא היו שום יצירות
אמנות. למשל גולד בספרו "הר הצדפות של לאונרדו והדיאט של ורמס"
בעמ' 185 טוען: "מי שאכלסו את אירופה ממש לפני בואם,
הנאנדרטלים הנודעים, לא יצרו (למיטב ידיעתנו) אמנות תיאורית כל
שהיא". ספרו יצא לאור באנגלית ב-1998.

ממצאים מהשנים האחרונות מראים שהטענות הנ"ל הן מופרכות.
הנאנדרטלים ניגנו בחליל ויצרו יצירות אמנות ניידת.

חליל נאנדרטלי נתגלה בסלובניה בן 43-82 אלף שנה

http://www.greenwych.ca/fl-compl.htm


An ancient bone flute segment, estimated at about 43,ooo up
to 82,ooo years old, was found recently at a Neanderthal
campsite by Dr. Ivan Turk, a paleontologist at the Slovenian
Academy of Sciences in Ljubljana. It's the first flute ever
to be associated with Neanderthals and its confirmed age
makes it the oldest known musical instrument.

The find is also important for its implications regarding
the evolution of musical scales. It's to this latter issue
my analysis in this article is addressed

In a scientist's hands, even a blowtorch or a
50,000-year-old cave bear bone can make beautiful music -
and teach people a thing or two at the same time. Let's take
a musical tour, from prehistory to the rocket age.

The find of a Neanderthal flute is certainly one of the
archaeological discoveries in Slovenia to have excited the
most interest, and to have initiated the most debate. The
find in question is the fruit of long-term
archaeological-paleontological research in the cave of Divje
babe I, in the Idrijca valley in western Slovenia. This 45
metre long, horizontal cave is only one of around 6500 Karst
caves in the world famous Slovene part of the Dinarid Karst
and its underground. Many of these caves are archaeological
sites, but few of them are 100 thousand and more years old
like the Palaeolithic site of Divje babe I


Neanderthal man 'sang and danced'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4637605.stm

Neanderthals, the close relations of modern man who died out
around 30,000 years ago, had their own music and dance, an
academic says.

Neanderthal 'face' found in Loire

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3256228.stm

A flint object with a striking likeness to a human face may
be one of the best examples of art by Neanderthal man ever
found, the journal Antiquity reports.

Archaeologists claim to have found the world's first piece
of neanderthal art during excavation of a French cave,
writes Jonathan Leake. If confirmed, the discovery could
reignite the fierce debate over neanderthals, whom many
archeologists believe were largely incapable of the abstract
thought needed to create art

ציור על גבי עצם שנמצא במערה בצרפת Pech de l'Aze מ-200 אלף
לפנה"ס

החריטה על העצם נעשתה ע"י הנאנדרטלים שחיו באותה תקופה
באירופה. ההומו ספיאנס הגיעו לאירופה רק לפני 47 אלף שנה.

אמנות ניידת של הנאנדרטלים ממערת Fontmaure - חפצי אמנות לפחות
מ-38 אלף לפנה"ס.

http://www.neanderthalerart.com/about.html

This site contains material that is at least 40.000 years
old, from the Chatelperronian and Mousterian, the
Neanderthal era.
In the thirties and forties of the twentieth century a local
amateur archaeologist Dr. Pradel undertook a lot of
excavations.

Shortly after Dr. Pradel declared the Fontmaure site as
non-yielding, Tedde Toet, a Dutch fossil and artefact
collector from The Hague, decided to explore the area with a
few friends. Besides the typical kind of tools they found,
there were also items of a different nature, that of human
and animal figures. Furthermore they came across socalled
symbolic stones, such as triangular stones, round discs and
stone balls, socalled 'bolas'.

At the beginning of this year the 'Museon', the education
museum in The Hague held a small exhibition 'Tolerated Past'
using the sub-title 'Neanderthal tools and art from
Fontmaure, France'.

These exhibits belong to the oldest art artefacts found
until now in Europe.

By sharing these finds on this website we hope to make a
contribution to the discussion surrounding the Neanderthal
culture.
 
במערה הנ"ל בצרפת, הנמצאת באזור שבו חיו הנאנדרטלים, נמצאו
חפצי אמנות ניידים רבים שעוצבו ע"י הניאנדרטלים. מטרת האתר היא
להראות חפצי אמנות אלו ולתרום לוויכוח אודות אמנות הנאנדרטלים.
בין חפצי האמנות אנו מוצאים: דמויות אנוש, חיות כמו דב ויונה,
עיצוב נאה של כלים כמו מנורת שמן.

The Day We Learned To Think - programme summary

http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2003/learnthink.shtml

There was still one unresolved. Now the Human Revolution
theory had been proved wrong, the question of what had
really happened to the Neanderthals remained. D'Errico
revisited 450 pieces of black manganese oxide that had been
locked in museum drawers for over 30 years.

Dr d'Errico also examined pieces of jewellery that
suggested that Neanderthals were expressing themselves
through art before Homo sapiens even arrived in Europe.
Perhaps neanderthal were not intellectual lightweights after
all.

בקרוב יתגלו כנראה עוד חפצים השייכים לאמנות שיצרו
הנאנדרטלים.
