In the literature, remarks on the depiction of the anterior nasal septum in prehistoric times cannot be found. Studying works of art from some archaeological sites of Asia, Asia Minor, Near East, Egypt, and Southeastern Europe the anatomical depiction of the columella and the nostrils in human figures are shown. These figures or heads, partly appearing as masks, were made of ivory, stone, marble, terracotta, steatite, reeds and clay, or of burned limestone. Faces and figures sculpted in the time between the Upper Palaeolithic (30,000 - 25,000 BC) and the Early Bronze Age (3,300 - 2,400 BC) are presented as examples of our ancestors' outstanding skill to create works of art with an astonishing ability to observe anatomical details. The tendency to create a human nose in a natural manner can already be recognized in the figurines of the Upper Palaeolithic.
在文献中，找不到关于史前时期前鼻中隔描绘的相关论述。通过研究亚洲、小亚细亚、近东、埃及和东南欧一些考古遗址的艺术作品，可以看到人体雕塑中鼻小柱和鼻孔的解剖学描绘。这些人物或头部，部分呈现为面具，由象牙、石头、大理石、赤陶、滑石、芦苇和黏土，或烧制的石灰石制成。旧石器时代晚期（公元前30000 - 25000年）至青铜时代早期（公元前3300 - 2400年）期间雕刻的面部和人物，展现了我们祖先卓越的技艺，他们创造出的艺术作品对解剖学细节有着惊人的观察力。在上旧石器时代的小雕像中，就已经可以看出以自然方式塑造人类鼻子的倾向。
