These include one explicit and one ambiguous representation of a phallus - the latter may be a human head and shoulders. The authors note the visual similarity of certain pestles from WF16 to phalli and suggest that such artefacts and their use may have been imbued with sexual metaphor. As such, the most potent references to sex, reproduction and fertility in the early Neolithic may not be the exotic figures claimed to be 'Mother Goddesses' but located in the most mundane of domestic artefactsWF 16 je predkeramično neolitsko najdišče v južni Levanti, v katerem je bilo veliko število terilnih kamnov. Ti artefakti vključujejo tudi nedvoumno in dvomljivo predstavitev falusa - dvomljiva morda predstavlja človeško glavo in ramena. Avtorji so opayili vizualno podobnost nekaterih tolkačev iz najdišča WF 16 s falusi in domnevajo, da so ti artefakti in njihova uporaba prežeti z metaforo spolnosti. Glede na to morda niso najmočnejše aluzije na spolnost, reprodukcijo in plodnost eksotični kipci, ki naj bi predstavljali "mati boginjo", temveč so skrite v najbolj vsakdanjih artefaktihTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta
