Markings as Evidence of Ownership?

I showed my 5-year-old son the image of the oldest art object ever found and told him it belonged to a cave man and asked him why he thought there were lines drawn on it. He said, "The cave man made lines on his rock because it was important to him and he wanted to remember which one it was. And he wanted people to know that it was his rock."
