Why did people in prehistoric times only painted animals and not people?
The commonly accepted theory is that they painted animals in order to help hunters on the hunt. This would work something along the lines of "capturing" the "spirit" or "essence" of the animal in a painting which would allow the hunter to capture the real physical animal when he goes on his hunt. If this was truly the case then it could be argued that they didn't paint humans because there was some taboo against capturing a human's essence or spirit. In some modern day primitive tribes, when they first saw cameras they thought that the photographs might capture or steal their souls, its likely that the prehistoric people thought that painted images of a person might do something similar. I personally don't know if this is the reason but its the best theory I can come up with!
When was the first ghost town found?
The question is probably unanswerable. A "ghost town" occurs whenever a city or village becomes abandoned, and this has undoubtedly been happening since prehistoric times. Ruins of many prehistoric settlements have been discovered, and it seems likely that the indigenous inhabitants of nearby towns knew about many of them, but since they generally didn't actually write down anything like "7523 BC - Discovered ghost town", we really don't know when they were "found" (or, indeed, if they were ever actually "lost"; the people who moved out when the village was originally abandoned presumably knew all along where their old village was).Probably the earliest European ghost town in what is now the United States was the Roanoke Colony, which was discovered to be abandoned in 1590.

What are the dates of historic and prehistoric periods in archeology?
Prehistoric simply means before written records, so the date for the start of the historic period would depend on where in the world you are and when the first written records began. Sometimes places have a protohistoric period. This refers to a time when we have written records for a people but they are written by outsiders (for example Britons had no written records of their own when the Romans arrived, but we know about them from things the Romans wrote about them).
