Interpreting Ancient Figurines: Context, Comparison, and Prehistoric Art
Lesure, Richard G. (University of California, Los Angeles)
Examines ancient figurines from several world areas to address recurring challenges in the interpretation of prehistoric art. Early interpreters seized fancifully on resemblances between figurines from different places, but contemporary practice rejects such interpretive leaps. Lesure argues for the necessity of comparison and offers a new analytical framework.
