Features: The prehistoric period is relatively long compared to the historical period, accounting for about ninety-five percent of the entire history of humankind so far. This period is also known as the "Stone Age" in archaeology. Prehistoric art emerged in the late Stone Age. Surviving artifacts of prehistoric art are primarily works with shaping elements such as drawing or carving. This makes them representative of other types of art that may have existed during that time.
