89 Gombrich (1982). Taking a contrary view, Terrence Deacon, Professor of Biological Anthropology at Boston University, writes that Upper Palaeolithic cave paintings are ‘the first concrete evidence of the storage of such symbolic information outside of a human brain’ (Deacon 1997, 374; see also Donald 1991). Deacon and others who follow him confuse pictures with written records that do indeed store information and permit it to be accessed by minds in which it does not already exist.

59 The evidence from the burial at Saint Césaire is inconclusive; Gamble (1999, 380–81).

60 Binford (1968).

61 It seems that some chimpanzees can be trained to perform some of these functions, perhaps up to the level of a three-year-old human child. Somewhat controversial experiments showed that these abilities in chimpanzees may give us some insight into the limitations of Neanderthals. See Savage-Rumbaugh (1986); Deacon (1997, 84ff).

62 Hahn (1993).

63 If we use ‘acculturation’ to denote Neanderthal/Homo sapiens interaction, we must take care that we do not imply inappropriate connotations, such as complete and comfortable assimilation of sets of interlocking traits. Indeed, I doubt if it is appropriate to speak of acculturation at the Transition.We must rather focus on the evidence and not become embroiled in a sterile logomachy (Demars 1998).

10 CAVE AND CONFLICT (PAGES 268–86)

1 See Clottes (1996) on the persistence of and differential emphasis on themes found in early Aurignacian art through to the Magdalenian. More recently, he has written: ‘Chauvet has also made us realise that the contents of the art did not change considerably over time’ (Clottes 1998, 126). One of the most interesting changes in emphasis concerns felines and ‘dangerous’ animals; at the present stage of research, there appear to be more in the early rather than late Upper Palaeolithic sites.
