If this painting represents a ritual dance for the production of fertility magic, it is directed towards the male and not the female principle. With the disappearance of the Palaeolithic hunters and their art from north-west Europe, we are left without clues in that area for thousands of years. I can see nothing in the archaeology there to help us. Some remarkable antlered heads were found in an excavation of the site of a hunter's camp at Star Carr in Yorkshire by Professor J. G. D. Clark. These are pieces of the frontal bones from skulls of red deer with the antlers still attached.
Some will reach isolated corners and stay there. Out near the limits of their spread, far from the place where the stones of ideas were thrown in, it should be possible to see the ripples individually. At any rate, there is no harm in trying to do so. Here is an example. A few years ago, during the excavations at prehistoric Jericho, a heap of human skulls was found.

D. Clark. These are pieces of the frontal bones from skulls of red deer with the antlers still attached. The bones are roughly detached from the skulls and holes have been cut carelessly in order to fasten the bones and antlers to something. Neither the edges of the slabs of bone nor the edges of the holes have been smoothed off. The antlers themselves, like many detached specimens found on the site, have been much reduced in size and considerably mutilated by the removal of strips of horn with a flint burin.
