The figurines have not been subject to a special study in scholarly literature so far and hence, no attempt at their interpretation has ever been made. The study discusses the possibility that these unusual images reflect a physical disability caused by Pott's disease. Anthropologic research on skeletal remains of the Eneolithic population of Europe has established pathological changes that are consistent with this disease. Its cause, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has been identified also through biomolecular study of human bones, which confirms the spread of tuberculosis in this period. The author furthermore argues about the possible use of this type of figurines in magic rituals. In addition, some ethnographic data is supplied for the use of clay anthropomorphic images in health-bringing and healing rites. Keliose kasinėtose gyvenvietėse, priklausančiose Kodjadermeno-Gumelnicos-Karanovo VI kultūrai, buvo rasta keletas neįprastų antropomorfinių figūrėlių su kupromis ir kūginiais krūtinių išsikišimais. Iki šiol minėtos figūrėlės nebuvo tirtos ir aprašytos mokslinėje literatūroje, todėl niekada nebuvo bandoma jas interpretuoti. Tyrime aptariama galimybė, kad šie neįprasti vaizdai atspindi fizinę negalią, kurią sukėlė Poto liga. Remiantis antropologiniais Europos eneolito populiacijos skeletuotų palaikų tyrimais, rasta patologinių šios ligos sukeltų pokyčių. Šios ligos sukėlėjų, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, randama atliekant papildomus biomolekulinius tyrimus; šie tyrimai patvirtina tuberkuliozės plitimą tuo laikotarpiu. Straipsnio autorė teigia, kad šio tipo figūrėlės galėjo būti naudojamos magiškuose ritualuose. Straipsnyje taip pat pateikiami kai kurie etnografiniai duomenys apie molinių antropomorfinių atvaizdų naudojimą sveikatos stiprinimo ir gydymo apeigose. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Archaeologia Lituana is the property of Vilnius University and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
