RANDALL WHITE
Professor of Anthropology, NYU

Lascaux Cave:  The Complex Story of an Ice Age Sanctuary

Since its discovery in September of 1940, Lascaux Cave has had a long and tortured history of interpretation and conservation. Professor White will document the history of Lascaux's discovery during the Vichy regime and will discuss Lascaux's chronology in relation to other important art sites in Europe. He will then provide a richly illustrated description of the paintings and engravings themselves, emphasizing remarkable aspects of technique and appropriation of the complex cave architecture by the Paleolithic painters. Professor White will conclude with an elaboration of the causes and consequences of the conservation problems that have plagued the cave since 2001; problems that place this most extraordinary example of prehistoric art at great risk.

Professor Randall White is Professor of Anthropology at NYU and since 1994 has directed excavations at Abri Castanet, France where, in 2007, his team discovered paintings and engravings dated to 33,000 years ago. He has conducted archaeological research in the Dordogne region of France for the past 30 years. Recently, he has served as a consultant concerning Lascaux's conservation problems and in February, 2009, he will participate in a symposium dedicated to Lascaux's problems at UNESCO headquarters in Paris.
