Although the starting point of human history isn't known exactly, produced artifact products and lived cultures are giving us certain clues. Some informations such as living spaces, eating cultures, religious beliefs or clothing cultures are possible to be learnt by way of artifacts that are discovered by the results of some researchs. On this topic, especially cave and rock pictures, mother godess figurines play a part among the important reference resources. New discoveries that are come to light day by day by the numerous artifacts captured various places on earth, constitutes a significant step on annihiliation of uncertanities related with an age by questionning historical resources more consciously. On the culturel journey to the past, a number of researchs , which are witnessed through clothing and dressing styles, cave and rock pictures and captured figurines of civilization, shed lights on concrete indicators of humanity's scramble against nature and surviving war in tough living conditions. Humans of primitive age , who enabled to continue their lineage and life by their developed methods to esentially cover their bare skin, achieved to hand down these disciplines by mixing with their traditional systems, thanks to their mental talents, the next generations. In the study, it is intended that garments ,which are equipped with a symbolic value as a part of various rituals apart from functional and daily usage, are presented by being examined through the examples of foundlings that are belong to Paleolithic and Neolithic age. Mother godess figurines, garments and outfit pieces, which are obtained from treasures, and pictures on the cave walls play a part among the basis materials that constitutes foundlings.
