EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Shell Mound People or Kitchen-Middeners, who thrived during the Late Mesolithic-early Neolithic period from 4,000 to 2,000 BC. Spread across North and South Europe, Iberia, North Africa, and even North & South America, these ancient communities exhibited similar patterns of living. This artist's impression from c188 offers a glimpse into their daily lives. The engraving depicts a scene where these resourceful individuals are engaged in various activities. The presence of hearths suggests their mastery of fire as an essential tool for survival. Stone tools scattered around hint at their skill in crafting implements for hunting and butchery. These hunter-gatherers relied on shellfish as a significant food source, evident by the vast mounds of discarded shells known as kitchen middens that they left behind. These mounds served not only as evidence of their sustenance but also provided valuable insights into their way of life for archaeologists studying this era. The artist's interpretation beautifully captures the essence of this ancient community while offering us a window into our shared human history. It is fascinating to observe how similar patterns can be found across different continents during this time period
