Stone Age shell pendants in the Aquitaine region of France, dating back to the #UpperPaleolithic (notably the #Aurignacian and Gravettian periods~25,000–35,000+ years ago), include perforated marine gastropods like Littorina and Dentalium found at sites like Abri

Around 40,000 years ago, migrating Homo sapiens spread across Europe carrying handled objects intricately etched with geometric designs.
Today, researchers find these signs might have represented an ancient form of proto-writing.
