Even though figurines are a ubiquitous find on many Neolithic sites, some aspects of figurines are still poorly understood. Figurines have been studied as symbolic messages to be decoded, as art, and as ritual/cult objects. The main drawback of these interpretative frameworks is that they fail to analyse figurines as artefacts. Instead, figurines are treated primarily, or even exclusively, as images or texts. In this paper it will be argued that in order to understand figurines we need to engage with their materiality in order to understand how figurines worked in their social setting. Within the framework of craft theory a sensory approach will be applied to the chaîne opératoire, and formulate perceptive categories, or those aspects of the material(s) that are recognisable and (possibly) relevant to craftspeople and elements that reflect choices made during the production process. This chaîne opératoire is embedded within a larger aim of creating object biographies for figurines where production, use and deposition are analysed holistically.

超越意义:采用人工制品方法研究小雕像作为功能性物品。Çatalhöyük(土耳其)的案例研究

尽管小雕像在许多新石器时代遗址上随处可见,但人们对小雕像的某些方面仍然知之甚少。小雕像已被研究为要解码的象征性信息、艺术和仪式/崇拜对象。这些解释框架的主要缺点是它们无法将小雕像作为人工制品进行分析。取而代之的是,小雕像主要或什至仅被视为图像或文本。在本文中,我们将论证,为了理解小雕像,我们需要接触它们的物质性,以了解小雕像在其社会环境中的运作方式。在工艺理论的框架内,感官方法将应用于链式歌剧院,并制定感知类别,或材料的可识别和(可能)与反映生产过程中做出的选择的工匠和元素相关的那些方面。这个链条歌剧院的更大目标是为小雕像创建对象传记,其中对生产、使用和沉积进行整体分析。
