I have recently been involved in an archaeological dig in a cave in southern France which was believed to be used by prehistoric man. We have uncovered some fascinating objects but two of them has confused us. From paintings on the walls we believe that they were involved in a ritual where the early humans would circle for hours around some sort of red burning beacon, but we know little else, and my investigation has brought me here. I have put a picture of the artefacts at the bottom of the post, shown after being cleaned up in our lab.
Please help me identify them, as I believe that these could provide a fascinating insight in to the lives of our ancestors.
