Prehistoric Figurines from Franchthi Cave
Franchthi Cave has produced the second largest collection, after Corinth, of Neolithic figurines from the Peloponnese. Forty-five possible pieces came to light during excavations, and subsequent study classified 24 animal and human images unequivocally as "figurines." Of those, two are dated to the Early Neolithic, one to an Early/Middle transitional phase, eleven to the Middle Neolithic, six to the Late Neolithic and four to the Final Neolithic. This chronological distribution accords well with what is known from the rest of southern Greece where EN figurines are rare. The pattern stands in marked contrast to the evidence of northern Greece where large and extensive collections of EN figurines are reported. Twenty-two of the Franchthi images are ceramic; the remaining two are carved from stone.

Heh... I figured you'd enjoy these links culled from Google, regarding purported 11,000,000 (eleven million) year old human remains from Greece. Discovered by a Greek. Reminds me of an old "Peanuts" comic strip... Lucy tells Schroeder that it's a scientific fact that girls are smarter than boys, "and you know who discovered it? WOMEN SCIENTISTS!"
