Exchanges of Identity in Prehistoric Anatolian Figurines

noThis paper examines exchange imagery and ideology of the human body manifested through figurines from prehistoric (7th–6th millennia BC) Anatolian contexts.

Taking a new approach to understanding the assemblages, this paper suggests four key themes of analysis: materials and materiality; fractured bodies; gender spectrum; and ambiguities and relationships.The full text is unavailable from the repository due to the publisher's copyright restriction
