A COZY DWELLING - SO MANY COLORS #prehistovember2025

I joined two prompts together to imagine the appearance of an Iron Age hut. A hearth, herbs, warm blankets, things for weaving and a sleepy scruffy dog by your side are the epitome of coziness and what everybody needs to be happy in my opinion.

Watercolor painting of a horse in front of five standing stones in a foggy scenery. Two of the stones show carvings belonging to the Bronze Age.

MADE OF STONE #prehistovember2025

One of my favourite places to hike to is marked by many peculiar stones, both natural (although local legends state they were dropped by the devil himself when he went to build the Roman aqueduct in Soria -go figure) and man-carved.

Watercolor painting of a young Homo sapiens man embracing a neanderthal woman in a green woodland environment. Both are smiling.

NEW ACQUAINTANCES #prehistovember2025
Almost 40,000 years ago the first "modern humans" arrived in Europe and found it was already populated. Artifacts suggest there might have been an exchange of either material goods. Current genetics confirm sapiens and H. neanderthals exchanged more than tools 😏

A FULL MEAL #prehistovember2025

This illustration is based on the #paleodiet of my ancient fellow countrywoman, the Red Lady of El Mirón, which consisted of meat, different kinds of mushrooms and salmon. She would have also completed her meals with vegetables and fruits available at the time.

AN EXTINCT WORLD #prehistovember2025

If something comes to mind when we think about the environment in which our early ancestors lived in, it is the great woolly #mammoth for sure.
