:-)) No, I don't think I did. Counting carefully the >'s I think it
was you who said earlier:

That's why I called it "late Magdalenian". Don't tell me nothing
recognizable can be *that* late (27,000 years). As we all know
with Magdalenian, absolutely anything is possible,
in fact it's very likely.

Of course Magdalenians had pictograms for Zero.
There are many blank rock faces in Lascaux. They convey
powerful messages like
"Today we again saw *zero* giraffes, and killed *zero* pigs", and
"Therefore, tonight we again have *zero* ribs for dinner", and
"And get *zero* cuddles as the reward from our women", and
"We are hungry, just as well the *zeroes* are so easy to carve".
