Abstract:
The terracotta figurines and protomai from Eleon form a compelling corpus of evidence for activity on the acropolis during the Archaic and Classical periods. This chapter provides an overview of the figurines recovered in the first five years of excavation at Eleon. A chronological survey relies on stylistic analysis, as nearly all come from the ramped entryway to the site, either built into the fill of the ramp itself in secondary deposition, or in later pits disrupting these levels. The assemblage is composed of a range of handmade and moldmade female figurines in seated and standing posture

Abstract:
Figurines are one of the most numerous categories of finds, coming to light in their hundreds in sacral contexts. And while other finds, such as ceramics, fall often into the category of profane, coroplastic finds are clearly always votives. They are offerings to the deity given either singly or, possibly, in groups, along with other offerings, such as edible stuffs. The importance of figurines as votive offerings in shrines has undergone a revision: up to a few decades ago, they were considered cheap, mass-produced products of little interpretive significance to the results of modern research

ABSTRACT: Drain 1971-1, between Buildings I and II in the area of the later Roman Forum at Corinth, produced, in addition to pottery, stone, and metal objects, an important group of terracotta figurines, which is published in this article. These figurines show a great variety in style and type: some (for example, kore figures, banqueters, doves, a dog, and a snake stele) are typically votive, but others may have been fashioned for different purposes. The possible functions and primary contexts of these figurines are carefully considered along with the nature of the Drain deposit. A date at the

The authors believe that the clay zoomorphic plastic figurines from the Early Iron Age settlements of the forest zone (the areas of the Yukhnovskaya, Milogradskaya, Verkhneokskaya and Dyakovskaya cultures) are not votive elements of agrarian cults but children’s toys. These toys as well as miniature vessels, ceramic models of things, clay loaves could be made by children themselves while learning the process of ceramic production.

Although scholars have pored over them for many years, there are still more questions than answers concerning the temple-boy figurines. Aside from canonical presentations, many figurines are considered as belonging to the temple-boy category, even though they do not possess features compatible with it. Symbolic analysis of the manner of their presentation, as well as animals, fruits and other objects held by the boys, shifts the direction of influence from Phoenicia to Egypt, also raising the age of the presented boys to two to three years old. Finally, they might be interpreted as votive gift

In this article, terracotta figurines from four burials of little girls of an Italic-Chonian community at Macchiabate, together with terracotta figurines from ritual assemblages of the Athenaion at Timpone della Motta, are studied using concepts of archaeological “agency” and “personhood” theory. These approaches are different from the commonly used in Italian mortuary and sanctuary archaeology, which, by focusing on what may be called symbolic reading, regard grave- and votive-goods as attributes of the buried individuals and thus as straightforward presentations of status.

Abstract:
Les figurines archaïques de terre cuite modelées des sanctuaires spartiates sont regroupées dans des catégories typologiques aux limites assez larges et semblent avoir souffert d’un désintérêt relatif par rapport au reste de la culture matérielle laconienne. Ces figurines, présentant pourtant une variété certaine, étaient produites localement et ont été trouvées exclusivement en contexte votif, autant d’éléments qui justifient une étude comparative et contextualisée, à même de replacer ces productions dans le champ des productions péloponnésiennes et de proposer une interprétation de leur fonction votive.

Abstract:
Corinthe était un chef de file dans la production de terres cuites figurées, fabriquant et distribuant des figurines qui ont influencé d’autres cités du monde grec. Pourtant, les débuts de la tradition de la figurine à Corinthe sont restés flous. Les témoignages relativement rares du quartier des potiers ainsi que la confusion concernant les dates et la relation entre le matériel de Pérachora et de Corinthe ont contribué à obscurcir le tableau. De nouvelles données pour cette question proviennent du sanctuaire de Déméter et de Koré sur les pentes de l’Acrocorinthe, où des fouilles dans les années 1960 et 1970 ont permis de retrouver 24 000 figurines en terre cuite datant du VIIe s. av. J.-C. à l’époque romaine. En conséquence, Corinthe présente maintenant à la fois un sanctuaire riche en artefacts et le quartier des potiers où de nombreux objets votifs ont été fabriqués. L’étude actuelle des figurines archaïques du sanctuaire de Déméter peut également être intégrée au matériel le plus ancien du sanctuaire corinthien d’Héra à Perachora. S’appuyant sur du matériel provenant de ces sources contemporaines, cet article explore les origines de l’industrie de la figurine corinthienne du point de vue de l’innovation artistique et du modelage. Sans tradition antérieure de figurines faites à la main, les artisans locaux ont utilisé le modelage de diverses manières innovantes. Deux tendances parallèles – des figurines hybrides faites à la main et au moule, et entièrement faites à la main – ont émergé de cette phase d’expérimentation fébrile. Les choix faits dans les ateliers corinthiens du VIIe siècle peuvent être liés à des développements iconographiques et finalement placés dans le moment culturel plus large des changements dans les sphères religieuses et sociales.

Abstract:
Les figurines dont il sera question font partie d’un matériel votif lié aux maigres vestiges d’un sanctuaire archaïque identifié sur la colline de l’Aspis, qui surplombe la ville d’Argos. Ce matériel n’est pas très abondant (150 figurines, dont 132 humaines et 18 animales) mais il est intéressant à la fois du point de vue de sa chronologie et de sa technologie. Bien que les premières manifestations de culte sur la colline remontent au Géométrique Récent et les dernières à l’époque hellénistique, la période de prospérité du sanctuaire se situe dans la seconde moitié du VIIe et la première moitié du VIe s. av. J.-C.Dans leur grande majorité les figurines sont entièrement modelées (81,3 %), tandis que les figurines réalisées en technique mixte (visage moulé et corps modelé) sont nettement plus rares (11,3 %), de même que les figurines entièrement moulées (7,3 %). L’un des intérêts majeurs de cette étude est l’identification de deux traditions technologiques différentes pour la fabrication des figurines. Ces deux traditions se succèdent dans le temps. La plus ancienne (pâte beige fine, bien cuite, peinture lustrée) est apparemment utilisée jusqu’à la fin du VIIe siècle. À partir du début du VIe siècle – ou peut-être dès la fin du VIIe – la technologie change (pâte rouge, moins fine, moins bien cuite, peinture mate sur engobe blanc). Fait intéressant, ce changement technologique est associé à des innovations dans le répertoire typologique des figurines humaines, notamment avec l’apparition des figurines assises, qui prévaudront tout au long du VIe siècle.

Abstract:
Les figurines zoomorphiques modelées ont toujours occupé une place secondaire dans les études de coroplathie crétoise à l’âge du Fer, malgré leur présence généralisée dans tous les contextes, à la fois votifs, funéraires et domestiques, même lorsque le moulage devient la technique la plus utilisée. Pendant ces vingt dernières années, la publication de certains ensembles de figurines en terre cuite modelées (Patsòs, Haghia Triada, Kato Symi) a ravivé l’intérêt pour cette production, en mettant en évidence certains aspects intéressants liés à la technique et aux relations avec d’autres pratiques artisanales. La présente contribution vise à approfondir les aspects techniques de la production artisanale des figurines zoomorphiques en Crète du IXe au VIIe s. av. J.-C., en incluant pour la première fois dans le dossier crétois le matériel découvert sur la Patela de Prinias. Une attention particulière sera accordée aux interactions techniques entre le modelage et d’autres pratiques artisanales, telles que le tournage et la fabrication des bronzes. Quelques brèves remarques finales concerneront les problèmes de chronologie.

Abstract:
La zone rurale de Spiliotaki est située dans l’une des vallées de l’arrière-pays argien au sud de Lerna (moderne Myloi) et au sud-ouest de Kiveri. Elle correspond au territoire de l’ancienne komé argienne d’Elaious, qui est brièvement mentionnée, dans la description du travail d’Héraclès avec l’hydre de Lerne. L’emplacement précis de la komé a été identifié par L. Ross (Reisen und Reiserouten durch Griechenland, Berlin, 1841), qui a également retracé une ancienne route menant de la komé à la zone de Kiveri. Dans les années 1960, des fouilles dans l’espace de la komé ont livré les restes d’un sanctuaire à Déméter et Koré, et une partie d’un gisement avec de nombreux ex-voto du VIIe/VIe au IVe/IIIe s. av. J.-C. tels que des figurines en terre cuite, des vases, objets en bronze, etc. Cet article se concentre sur les objets de terre cuite de l’époque archaïque découverts dans le dépôt du sanctuaire. Les nombreuses offrandes votives qui peuvent être classées en types et en thèmes variés, représentent la production coroplathique argienne commune que l’on trouve aussi dans d’autres sanctuaires de la région. Des détails techniques indiquent la manière dont ces objets ont été fabriqués ainsi que les compétences et la capacité du coroplathe argien à reproduire les thèmes préférés.

Full text
Abstract:
One problem associated with the identification of modest anthropomorphic figurines dedicated at Greek sanctuaries is their degree of specificity. Especially in the Archaic and early Classical periods, distinguishing representations of divinities, or even divinities and mortals, is difficult because their attributes are often non-specific, ambiguous or unidentifiable (at least by us), or because they lack identifying features altogether. This ambiguity and flexibility could have been intentional for both technical and ritual reasons. Manufacturers definitely benefited by producing figurines with broad iconography that could be used for different purposes and serve various cults. Clients also benefited: non-specific figurines of divinities or mortals could be dedicated at various sanctuaries, acquiring specificity and significance through cultic context and function. At the same time, workshops could also respond to clients’ demands or to new cultic needs by creating or adapting types. Generic figurines could be endowed with a more specific meaning by the dedicator: they could have been personalised through the oral prayer accompanying the dedication or by the construction of a personal narrative through the grouping of offerings. On the other hand, in some cases, the merging of divine and mortal features, assimilating the dedicator with the god, may have been intentional.
