A tentative attempt to estimate the systemic number of the Late Neolithic Vinča culture figurines

In this paper an attempt is made to estimate the number of figurines which were in "use" in households of the Late Neolithic Vin!a culture. The number of accumulated figurines and houses is used as a starting point. Given the complexities of the settlement dynamic, figurine use and the for...
