1963 in archaeology
a drawing on the wall of the lascaux caves in france has a graphical representation of the pleiades open cluster of stars. this is dated from 33,000 to 10,000 years ago. researcher michael a. rappenglueck has suggested that a panel in the same caves depicting a charging bison, a man with a bird's head and the head of a bird on top of a piece of wood, together may depict the summer triangle, which at the time was a circumpolar formation. rappenglueck also discovered a drawing of the northern crown constellation in the cave of el castillo (north of spain), made in the same period as the lascaux chart.
