EARLY NEOLITHIC ANTHROPOMORPHIC FIGURINES. A NEW DISCOVERY AT LIPNICA, WIELKOPOLSKA VOIVODESHIP
Abstract
a fragment of clay figurine was found in a Band Pottery Culture pit at Lipnica near Szamotuły during
rescue excavations o f the Y amai gas pipe ( 1996). It was probably painted and ornamented by vertically incised
lines. Its compositional and formal attributes make us believe that this is a fragment o f anthropomorphic,
freestanding and realistically represented figurine without steatopygic features. It was either an early Neolithic
idol or toy. The figurine shows similarities to alike artifacts from Central European oecumene of the Band Pottery
culture (in particular in the Lower Silesia and Germany), which are characterized by their slenderness and
incised ornamentation. Additionally, the painting decoration is indicative of influences from south-eastern centers
of the LBK (Ukraine and Moravia).
