<P> The meaning of many of these paintings remains unknown . They may have been used for seasonal rituals . The animals are accompanied by signs that suggest a possible magic use . Arrow - like symbols in Lascaux are sometimes interpreted as calendar or almanac use, but the evidence remains interpretative . </P> <P> Some scenes of the Mesolithic, however, can be typed and therefore, judging from their various modifications, are fairly clear . One of these is the battle scene between organized bands of archers . For example, "the marching Warriors", a rock painting at Cingle de la Mola, Castellón in Spain, dated to about 7,000--4,000 BCE, depicts about 50 bowmen in two groups marching or running in step toward each other, each man carrying a bow in one hand and a fistful of arrows in the other . A file of five men leads one band, one of whom is a figure with a "high crowned hat". In other scenes elsewhere, the men wear head - dresses and knee ornaments but otherwise fight nude . Some scenes depict the dead and wounded, bristling with arrows . One is reminded of Ötzi the Iceman, a Copper Age mummy revealed by an Alpine melting glacier, who collapsed from loss of blood due to an arrow wound in the back . </P> <P> Modern studies and the in - depth analysis of finds dating from the Stone Age indicate certain rituals and beliefs of the people in those prehistoric times . It is now believed that activities of the Stone Age humans went beyond the immediate requirements of procuring food, body coverings, and shelters . Specific rites relating to death and burial were practiced, though certainly differing in style and execution between cultures . </P> <Ul> <Li> Megalithic tombs, multichambered, and dolmens, single - chambered, were graves with a huge stone slab stacked over other similarly large stone slabs; they have been discovered all across Europe and Asia and were built in the Neolithic and the Bronze Age . </Li> </Ul>
