Take the Lascaux Cave Virtual Tour and see it's google location Also view Paleolithic Cave "Animations" Use your DE app to watch the Mysteries of cave Art video. Answer the 5 questions (also found under Assignment tab in DE).

Students will discuss the pros and cons of varying clan sizes. When can a small clan be beneficial? When would a large clan be beneficial? After being divided up into clans within the classroom, each clan will identify 5 important values for their clan. Choose a symbol to represent each core value and draw it on your cave wall (brown construction paper). Be ready to explain your chosen values and symbols to the class.

= Assignment - Artifacts = __Part A - Artifacts__ You will identify one unique artifact that depict survival and life for each of the following __five categories: //survival//; //nomadic life//; //migration//; //tools/innovations//, and //social organization//.__ Each artifact needs to be a primary source. In other words, it has to be something discovered that was used by people who lived more than 5,000 years ago. This means it would have a date prior to 3,000 B.C. (I.E. 4,000 B.C., 10,000 B.C., 14,000 B.C., etc.)

**What to include for each artifact?** A) The category the artifact fits in. B) An estimated age of the artifact. C) A minimum of one well-written and complete sentence that explains the purpose of the artifact. D) An explanation that supports why the artifact fits into the category you placed it in. E) A drawing of the artifact.

Categories:
__Survival__ artifacts should reflect an object that was used for hunting or protection. __Nomadic life__ artifacts should reflect something that could be taken by the clan as they moved from one dwelling to another. __Migration__ artifacts should reflect something that could have been helpful in the process of traveling long distances. __Tools/innovation__ can be any sort of tool. __Social organization__ should reflect something that could be worn or that reflects the role a person had in a society (leader, child, mother, etc.).
