Looking for Meaning
I can try to make guesses about what the symbols mean. Some markings may have been part of a map. T e squiggly lines I found in one cave may have shown a river or other landform. Other symbols are harder to fi gure out. But without someone to tell us, how can we know?
One thing seems clear. T ese symbols meant something to the ice age people. I will have to keep crawling through caves and recording data to fi nd out!
WORDWISE ancient: very old
ice age: any of several cold periods during which glaciers covered much of Earth
symbol: something that stands for or represents something else
