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"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000446201 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000446201 650_0 $$aFigurines, Ancient. 000446201 650_0 $$aArt$$xHistoriography. 000446201 650_0 $$aArt and anthropology. 000446201 650_0 $$aArt and society. 000446201 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLesure, Richard G.$$tInterpreting ancient figurines.$$dCambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2011$$z9780521197458$$w(DLC) 2010035783$$w(OCoLC)658200739 000446201 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000446201 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=352528$$zOnline Access 000446201 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:446201$$pGLOBAL_SET 000446201 980__ $$aEBOOK 000446201 980__ $$aBIB 000446201 982__ $$aEbook 000446201 983__ $$aOnline 000446201 994__ $$a92$$bISE
