	Greek Art and Architecture - MSN Encarta
		Up until about 320 bc, the primary function of architecture, painting, and large sculpture was a public one, being concerned with religious objects and the commemoration of important secular events, such as athletic victories.
		Beginning about 750 bc, animals and humans were introduced, represented by slim, abstracted figures, such as a dead warrior lying in state or a chariot with horses.
		Examples from the 6th century bc have muscular limbs, a narrow arch for the lower boundary of the thorax, and horizontal markings.

	Yayoi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Yayoi (弥生時代) is an era in Japan from 300 BC to A.D. It is named after the section of Tōkyō where archaeological investigations uncovered its first recognized traces.
		Because of the seemingly abrupt and dramatic cultural changes associated with the Yayoi period, it was once generally assumed that the Yayoi culture did not develop directly from the Jōmon, but that the Yayoi were a people who migrated from the Asian mainland.
		Early Chinese historians described Wa as a land of hundreds of scattered tribal communities, not the unified land with a 700-year tradition as laid out in the 8th-century work Nihongi, the part-mythical, part-historical account of Japan which puts the foundation of the country at 660 BC.
