Amazonian Indigenous People
Some of the oldest rock paintings and ceramics in the
Americas can be found in Caverna da Pedra Pintada (Cave of
the Painted Rock) in the Pará state of Brazil. The Indigenous
people of the Amazon region were known for creating textiles,
ceramics, jewelry, clothing, paintings and feather work.
Australian Indigenous People
The Australian indigenous art remains as the oldest form of
unbroken traditional art in the world. One of the oldest
pieces of rock art was found during the excavation of the
Narwala Gabarnmang rock shelter. Some of the rock art
found in Australia are estimated to be approximately 40,000
years old. The indigenous people of Australia created
ceremonial clothing, sculptures, rock art, wood carvings and
both leaf and sand paintings.
