In a certain approach or study of those ancient cultures or communities with out written history or
testimonies about her past and way of living the visual images play a special major role in the study of
those really ancient communities and those really first early humans organized groups without any
kind of writing records only leaving as the only source of information to understand ( maybe only
partially) the archeological findings more specially the artistic and pictorial evidence. The Gimboutas
theory of signs appear to be as presice and good acadmic approach to try to understand ceirtain but
important aspects of primitive human colectives like their cosmo vision and religious beliefs, their
daily life and their form of view or intrepretate the world what surrond them. I it coud be consider as
an interesting reason but it coud have certain limits. Gimboutas depended in great part to made her
studies in the archeological findings in a huge area and the later comparative study of the findings . Its
gave some interesting and reasonable answer to some questions about the neolitic comunities in the
Balcans and around the aegean sea, but maybe in the studies of some isolated ancient comunities with
no conection (or not directly) with later human comunities or groups the work maybe be a little more
complicated.
