There is also evidence of special structures that provide insights into religious beliefs. Buildings were built for public purposes rather than to be lived in by families or individuals. These buildings were often characterized by religious markings. Carvings, paintings in the floor, and deliberately placed skulls of humans or animals are found in these public buildings. Figurines found at different sites centered on the worship of female deities.

Special treatment was frequently given to human skulls as part of religious beliefs. Skulls were often separated from the skeleton. The skeleton was typically reburied under a floor or bench within the house or in a pit outside the home. Skulls were kept separate-either singly or in groups-and stored in containers or inside buildings.

What is the oldest religious practice known to humankind?

The cave paintings of Europe were long thought to have been simply art, or perhaps to teach the young about nature. However, some archaeologists now say that the positioning of each painting in relation to others and to the sun at the time of the winter solstice, is strong evidence that they were used as part of religious rituals 30,000 years old. If such sophisticated religious symbolism existed 30,000 years ago, it ought to be assumed that religious beliefs are much older.
