Research on Bones

“A bone is a rigid organ that constitutes part of the vertebral skeleton. Bones support and protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells, store minerals and also enable mobility.” (1)

“Bones can be used to make flutes. For this use, bird bones are especially popular, as they are naturally hollow. Two Stone Age German caves, Geissenklösterle and Hohle Fels, have yielded such bone flute artifacts. (2)

“The Clovis people of prehistoric North America made fluted, sharpened projectiles out of wood or bone.” (3)

 

 

“Pieces of bones, whether from turtle plastrons or the scapulae of oxen or water buffalo, were used to divine the future in ancient China.” (2)

 

“During the Upper Paleolithic in Europe, woolly mammoths provided shelter in the form of their huge bones. The bones used for dwellings were long and flat, tusks, or connected vertebrae, and were often lashed together or implanted in the soil. That the Neanderthalsconstructed these shelters suggests they are smarter than they are popularly depicted.” (2)

Director: Roland Emmerich

I watched this movie and I found it interesting the use of bones used in the film. The white spear was a spear in the film made entirely out of bones and it had a strong impact throughout the film. In 10.000 BC there was a cultural tradition of who was to win the white spear and claim Evolet.

 

Inspired by the bone structures seen throughout the film I modelled a slightly more detailed arena on Autodesk Maya.

“The Verona Arena (Arena di Verona) is a Roman amphitheatre in Piazza Bra in Verona, Italy built in 1st century. It is still in use today and is internationally famous for the large-scale opera performances given there. It is one of the best preserved ancient structures of its kind. In ancient times, nearly 30,000 people was the housing capacity of the Arena.” (1)
