OK. So we have representations of a man and two women (Check the protruberenced between the legs, one pointed and two rounded, possibly one penis & two vulva. Same as stick figures with a protruberance for a penis and a straight line under the open legs for a vagina.) displaying some objects. There is no perspective in ths style of drawing so no way of telling what the true shape of the object is. There is no context, If you are scratching on rock with another rock you will have a really tough job simply making a mark and precision is not going to be very good. So PERHAPS all the drawing is saying is that the man in the picture has two partners and the same number of children as the number of dots. I could invent an entire story from this but the danger here is that somebody will belive that I have been sent a "spirit message" or "revelation" from the spirit of the artist and use the fantasy as the basis for a theory.
