In the history of art, prehistoric art is all art produced in preliterate, prehistorical cultures

beginning somewhere in very late geological history, and generally continuing until that culture
either develops writing or other methods of record-keeping, or makes significant contact with
another culture that has, and that makes some record of major historical events. At this
point ancient art begins, for the older literate cultures. The end-date for what is covered by the
term thus varies greatly between different parts of the world.
