10200 B.C. is a rough estimate for the beginning of the neolithic period. Art from this period has a special interest for me. Architecture like Gobekli-Tepe, Stonehenge, and Newgrange have inspired my personal art work and some of the best lesson plans I have done. I have actually used some of the same handout i received from the late Karl Lunde during my time at William Paterson. It is a shame the Collegeboard has removed this period and Egypt from the AP Art History test.
This is an image and pretty new articles on Gobekli-Tepe.
