I have always thought this early (40,000 years old) example of information design (Attached) was an early example of counting for keeping track of things like phases of the moon. But perhaps it was a record of clients/lovers? The shape would lend credence to that, like notches on a gun? BTW, the rest of the article may be interesting reading for some, even if it is circa 1990 (the article, that is).
