Summary
Figurines and models provide us with a picture, albeit limited, of the Neolithic world: people, houses, furniture, boats, birds, and quadrupeds (S. Nanoglou, in Fowler 2015, 621–37). Most typically in ceramic, these representations are also made, as in later periods, in rarer or more precious materials, such as marble, bone, or shell.
