Symbolism

Production forms and lifestyle determine a group's symbolic activities.

The beliefs developed by a group implicitly involve the exploration, conception and transformation of the world. The collection and transportation of exotic objects, the use of engraving to modify bones and stones, carving tools out of uncommon material, the perfect symmetry of some of them, the production of adornments, graphic representations, burials and dowries all surpass the realm of our everyday lives and submerge us in the world of the mind, symbolism and beliefs.
