Sometimes figurines from one context are perceived to resemble those from another. Richard G. Lesure asks whether such resemblances play a role in our interpretations. Early interpreters seized on the idea that figurines were recurringly female and constructed the fanciful myth of a primordial Neolithic Goddess. Contemporary practice instead rejects interpretive leaps across contexts. Dr. Lesure offers a middle path: a new framework for assessing the relevance of particular comparisons. He develops the argument in case studies that consider figurines from Paleolithic Europe, the Neolithic Near East, and Formative Mesoamerica"--$$cProvided by publisher. 001398364 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001398364 650_0 $$aFigurines, Ancient. 001398364 650_0 $$aArt$$xHistoriography. 001398364 650_0 $$aArt and anthropology. 001398364 650_0 $$aArt and society. 001398364 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLesure, Richard G.$$tInterpreting ancient figurines.$$dCambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2011$$z9780521197458$$w(DLC) 2010035783$$w(OCoLC)658200739 001398364 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 001398364 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10442892$$zOnline Access 001398364 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:446201$$pGLOBAL_SET 001398364 980__ $$aEBOOK 001398364 980__ $$aBIB 001398364 982__ $$aEbook 001398364 983__ $$aOnline 001398364 994__ $$a92$$bISE
