The document summarizes different forms of early communication and artistic expression from prehistoric times, including petroglyphs, pictographs, clay tablets, cave paintings, and papyrus. Petroglyphs were images carved into rock, while pictographs used paint. Clay tablets and cave walls were also used as surfaces for conveying symbols and ideas. Papyrus, made from reeds, was an early form of paper used in Ancient Egypt. These prehistoric artistic and communication methods were some of the earliest traditional media used to record information and express ideas.

Period when people discovered fire, developed paper
from plants , and forged weapons and tools with stone,
bronze, copper and iron. Prehistoric Art as the Earliest Form of Traditional Media • During the Stone Age, prehistoric people also used these crude stone tools to create objects, which are now considered rock art. Two kinds of rock art during the Stone Age are petroglyphs and pictographs. •Clay tablets, Cave Paintings and Papyrus also existed in this era. PETROGLYPHS petroglyphs" (derived from the Greek word "petra" meaning stone, and "glyphein" meaning to carve) is used to describe any image created on a rock surface by scouring, scratching, engraving, chiseling, carving or any similar method. PICTOGRAPHS "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 Cave paintings are a type of parietal art, found on the wall or ceilings of caves. A clay tablet is a more or less flat surface made of clay. Using a stylus, symbols were pressed into the soft clay. It is possible to correct errors on the tablet. The tablet was then baked until dry and hard, either by leaving it out in the sun, or in a fire. Sun-baked tablets could be moistened and recycled. Cuneiform is a logo-syllabic script that was used to write several languages of the Ancient Middle East. from which we get the modern word paper, is a writing material made from the papyrus plant, a reed which grows in the marshy areas around the Nile river. Papyrus was used as a writing material as early as 3,000 BC in ancient Egypt, and continued to be used to some extent until around 1100 AD. •Prehistoric Art is the Earliest Form of Traditional Media •Cuneiform script was a system of counting and recording goods with clay tokens. •Petroglyphs, Pictographs, Clay tablets, Cave paintings and Papyrus are significant in conveying information, messages and their expression in prehistoric age.
