Respuesta:
In prehistoric art, the term "pictograph" or "pictogram" (derived from the Latin "pictus" meaning painting, and "graph/gram" meaning drawn or written) describes an image, sign or symbol which is created in order to express some idea or information. In addition, note that pictographic symbols that are cut or carved into the rock surface are known as "petroglyphs", while those drawn or painted on rocks are called "petrograms". A pictograph that represents one particular idea is usually referred to as an "ideogram". The most obvious type of Stone Age pictograph were the prehistoric abstract signs (aviforms, circles, claviforms, cordiforms, quadrangles, tectiforms, triangles and the like) which, experts believe, functioned as pictographs or pictograms, in that they were intended to express some simple message. (A good example-site is Le Placard Cave, near La Rochefoucauld.) However, paintings of animals or hunting scenes may also have been carefully arranged to communicate some kind of message. Pictographs are characterized by their stereotyped execution which is standardized at least within their group or locality. This type of pictographic rock art served as an early forerunner of Neolithic written languages, such as Sumerian cuneiforms (wedge-shaped symbols) and Egyptian hieroglyphs.
