Arrangement of Vinča culture figurines: a study of social structure and organisation

In this working paper, I present a unique assemblage of 43 figurines and 11 miniature tool models discovered at the Late Vin≠a culture site at Crkvine, Stubline in Serbia. The distinctiveness of this find is that it was discovered in it original context, where the figurines were used, and that the objects were found in their original arrangement. I also discuss to what extent it is possible, considering the figurines arrangement, to understand hints of social structure and organisation of communities in the final phase of Vinča culture.V članku predstavljam poseben skupek 43 figurin in 11 miniaturnih modelov orodij, ki so bili odkriti na najdišču Crkvine, Stubline v Srbiji, ki datira v obdobje pozne Vinče. Posebnost te najdbe je predvsem ta, da je bila odkrita v originalnem kontekstu, kjer so bile figurine uporabljene, in da so bili predmeti najdeni v prvotni razporeditvi. V članku razpravljam tudi o tem, v kolikšni meri je mogoče glede na razporeditev figurin razumeti sledi o družbeni strukturi in organizaciji skupnosti v končni fazi kulture Vinča
