#SundayArchaeology: How could one not be impressed by the incredible #VisualLanguage of Pre-Pottery #Neolithic #iconography?

"Give me a strong, dangerous #aurochs, horns full frontal. Make it run!" - "And ow about a slain ox? Obviously: tongue out, legs stretched. Totally dead."

One more #MerryChristmas #SundayArchaeology, this time in a #SketchbookSunday combo:

#MerryChristmas #SundayArchaeology: Scratched into the wall high above the floor of #NineMileCanyon in Utah, almost flying 😉, a row of deer and sheep and goat can be seen parading in what has become known as the "#SantaClausPanel".
