=== Prehistorical portraiture === {{see also|Prehistoric art}} [[File:Plastered Skull, c. 9000 BC.jpg|thumb|[[Plastered skull]], [[Baysamun]], [[Pre-Pottery Neolithic B]], {{circa|9000 BC}}]] [[Plastered human skulls]] were reconstructed human skulls that were made in the ancient [[Levant]] between 9000 and 6000 BC in the [[Pre-Pottery Neolithic B]] period. They represent some of the oldest forms of art in the [[Middle East]] and demonstrate that the prehistoric population took great care in burying their [[ancestor]]s below their homes. The skulls denote some of the earliest sculptural examples of portraiture in the [[history of art]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Kleiner |first1=Fred S. |title=Gardner's Art through the Ages: Backpack Edition |date=2012 |publisher=Cengage Learning |isbn=9780840030542 |page=42 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=neEzEpyuZ3AC&pg=PT42 |language=en}}</ref>
