Double-sided zoomorphic figurines from Tell Yunatsite

  • TITLU în română: Figurine zoomorfe bidimensionale de la tell-ul Yunatsite
  • Subiect: The term “amphisbaena” was introduced in the archaeological literature by V. Balabina. She used it in her classification of the zoomorphs from the Cucuteni-Tripolie in order to mark a specific type of figurines – those with one body and two heads at opposite ends. Zoomorphic amphisbaenas have been found in Late Neolithic and Chalcolithic sites in Central and Southeastern Europe. There are two main variations – cylindrical body with animal heads or conical protrusions and four-legged figurines. Both variations sometimes have orifices. Amphisbaenas are known not only in the form of separate zoomorphic figurines but also in the form of amulets, figurines with receptacles, altars and vessel-lids. By now there are 15 fragmented zoomorphic amphisbaenas from the Late Chalcolithic layer of tell Yunatsite. It is possible that their number is larger but they are usually found half-broken (with few exceptions) and thus assigned to the ordinary zoomorphic figurines. All of the specimens belong to the four-legged type and represent two subtypes: I – with realistically-modelled heads and ears (or horns); II subtype, with two variations – schematic figurines with conical protrusions-heads, with or without tails.
