Abstract
The aim of this paper is to outline the dimensional, stylistic and tipological features of a large production of stauettes representing female characters found in Sardinia over about a century of research works and archaeological studies. The manufactures of this sort of handworks probably starter during the pre-Neolithic Age, but spread and consolidated itself all over the Island in the following lapse of the time form 5th to 3rd millennium B.C., corresponding to the middle and recent Neolithic phases and the initial stage of Copper Age. The study carried out on these manufactures need to be constantly updated and revised, in order to give the most framework of formal, aesthetic and tecnological solutions adopted by the artisans of Neolithic Age. This modest contribution of typological classification is proposed as a approach to the study of small neolithic statuary.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
