Abstract
Paleolithic art found in the caves of Lascaux and Font-de-Gaume was found to have been influenced by the acoustic character of the chambers in which they had been drawn. Drawings of ungulates are more likely to be found in chambers that can echo percussive noises to produce sounds similar to hoofbeats, while acoustically silent chambers are drawn with felines. These caves may have significance in ritual as hunters summoned game animals by imitating the sound of whole herds for them to hunt.
