Curiously, she didn't say so in her two big books on the topic.

So I take it you read her book Language of the Goddess
the same way you judge the book by Derk Ohlenroth:
without having much as seen it, let alone touched it,
let aloner opened it, let alonest read it. Falta que eso.

Why don't you give me a page reference? Is it the same page(s) I cite in
*The World's Writing Systems*, sec. 2?

You are both showing your ignorance :
In the Introduction to her book, M. Gimbutas wrote :"The purpose of
this book is to present the pictorial "script" for the religion of the
Old European Great Goddess consisting of signs, symbols and images of
divinities". In the Foreword, Joseph Campbell said the same, talking
about "Gimbutas's lexicon of the pictorialscript of that primordial
attempt on humanity's part to understand...etc." So, Peter is wrong
saying that M. Gimbutas didn't talk about a "script" (between quotation
marks).
But Franz is a fool to believe that M. Gimbutas has ever considered
that this script could be other than PURELY IDEOGRAPHIC, i.e. 100%
SYMBOLIC, with for instance a "frog" symbolising (maybe) "giving
birth", etc.
