Too bad they took them out of the package.

I believe they’ve also determined that these toys were only played with on Tuesdays.

Why the head be so small!??

No way. My dollies never had boobs and a rounded belly like that. These figurines were for touching, to rub off some luck to get pregnant by.

Often what passes for archeological analysis tells us more about the archeologist than it does the cultures they are examining.

Rare find: The 9000-year-old figurines dug up in Turkey are thought to have been used as educational toys

Yes, the more advanced people - progressives - were using them in the pre-school sex-ed classes.

I always thought the figurerines were Neolithic porn. No magazines or videos in that era.

BTW, I used to be married to a Neolithic Goddess who looked a lot like the figuerine. Yup, that gal was built like a bag fulla bobcats....and then they got fluffy.
