The increasing availability of satellite images with seemingly ever increasing spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution is a treasure when searching for information about activity on the surface of the earth.

Engraved ochres and ostrich eggshells from the South African Blombos Cave and Diepkloof Rock Shelter are among the earliest expressions of human symbolic behavior. Furthermore, they appear to document a continuous practice of abstract mark-making across ~40.000 years.
