Prehistoric works of art are designated as such primarily because the society that created them did not yet possess written language. This lack of written documentation makes it challenging to attribute these works to specific artists or to date them accurately using historical texts. Additionally, these artworks often reflect the culture, practices, and beliefs of the societies that created them during the prehistoric era.
