candor

“You see, I’m really good in art history, and I am lousy in science,” I stated. To corroborate the truth of this, I reminded them of my poor grades in biology and my excellent ones in art history.

dearth
I had thought about studying Old Stone Age art in Britain, but there really is a dearth of artifacts from that time period. It would not be very interesting to study just a few old engravings.

I want to study the tomb carvings at New Grange, Ireland. I must have been a demanding, herculean task to move the massive and heavy stones that form the tombs.

salient
Most people can comment on the salient features of a piece of ancient art. I am fascinated, however, by features that aren't so noticeable, for they may help unlock the secrets of prehistoric cultures.
