What’s the progeny of internal analysis? Alex set the stage. Lead to Bednarik, d’Errico, Lorblanchet, etc. Our work a continuation further.
What our method is.
What it’s yielded in both caves:
· The big stuff:
o Children
o Woman and child
o Number of people in Gargas and Rouffignac
o Tectiforms
o artists – flutings to drawings
Where we’ve got to and where we’re going: questions that are answerable, not blinding by jumping into old paradigms.
