Subjectivity in Stone Age art works such as figure stones, engravings, sculptures, effigies and curated manuports. See how images and icons have been realized in portable rock media since the dawn of humanity. Here, archaeologists and art historians are becoming aware of these forsaken artifacts. “And this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in every thing." -in W. Shakespeare, As You Like It, 1599.

Simple face likenesses on worked stones blurs the distinction between 'tools' and 'art'

I have also found many similar examples like the ones you've shown here. It seems that the nose, mouth, and eyes were given particular attention. It is many times the eye that gives the "face" away because many times it seems to be proportionally right where you'd expect it to be. Good stuff, I have to get motivated and send in some pictures.
