Petroglyphs are images incised in rock, usually by prehistoric, especially Neolithic, peoples. They were an important form of pre-writing symbols, used in communication from approximately 10,000 B.C. to modern times, depending on culture and location. The word comes from the Greek words "petros" meaning "stone" and "glyphein" meaning "to carve" ... The term "petroglyph" should not be confused with "pictograph," which is an image drawn or painted on a rock face. 3, record 7, English, - petroglyph

Un pétroglyphe est un dessin symbolique gravé sur de la pierre (surface rocheuse à l'état naturel). Le terme provient des mots grecs «petros» pour pierre et «glyphein» pour gravure. Un «pétroglyphe» n'est donc pas un pictographe — qui raconte chronologiquement une histoire — ni de l'Art pariétal — qui est une peinture [sur] des parois de grottes. 5, record 7, French, - p%C3%A9troglyphe
