Brass Alloy of 30zinc and 29copper.
Last ice age 18 to 15k BC.
Upper paleo(old)lithic(stone) 40k to 7k BC.
Meso(middle)lithic 8k to 7k BC, the transition period of the paleolithic to neolithic periods. Flint tools found here.
Neolithic 7k to 2300 BC. Settlements, villages, husbandry, agriculture, metalworking, herds developed, characterize this period. More focused dates for advancements vary by geographical region.
Woman of Willendorf, Austria (22 to 21k BC, ~4.5", limestone) A depiction of health, fertility.
Husbandry The cultivation, organized improvement of grasses and other wild plants to improve their consumptive yields. Over generations, rice, corn, wheat, millet and gourds were created.

Stonehenge Early megalithic structure, updated at least four times from 2750 to 1500 BC. Salisbury Field, southern Britain.
Menhir Single megaliths usually associated with a prehistoric settlement/site.
Characteristics Figures (3 and 2D) abstracted to essential elements to be communicated: women, animals for the most part. Simplest of spatial arrangements: Divergent, intuitive, atmospheric, shallow space established through gestalt (close edge, touch, overlap and combine). Patterns, motifs, post/lintel architecture.
