OTSU--A clay figure believed to be 13,000 years old and one of the oldest in the country, was found in an archaeological site in Higashiomi, Shiga Prefecture, the Shiga Prefectural Association for Cultural Heritage said.

The tiny figure, 3.1 centimeters in height and 14.6 grams in weight, depicts a female torso with breasts and a waistline.

The figure, which was discovered at the Aidanikumahara archaeological site, is from an incipient era of the Jomon Pottery Culture, according to the association.

Another female clay figure from approximately the same era was found in Matsusaka, Mie Prefecture, in 1996.

I think you’ve nailed it! Prehistoric tailors!

I forget where I got the link, but it was probably from that knock-em-dead great site:

I’m not gonna ask what they used that neck hole for.

[SunkenCiv]

They should look for the animal figurines, probably prehistoric vore fetishists.

The beer is an astute guess — obviously they liked corking things.

J. Russell Finch: "Wait a minute, are you knocking this country? Are you saying something against America?"

J. Algernon Hawthorne: "Against it? I should be positively astounded to hear anything that could be said FOR it. Why the whole bloody place is the most unspeakable matriarchy in the whole history of civilization! Look at yourself! The way your wife and her strumpet of a mother push you through the hoop! As far as I can see, American men have been totally emasculated- they're like slaves! They die like flies from coronary thrombosis while their women sit under hairdryers eating chocolates & arranging for every 2nd Tuesday to be some sort of Mother's Day! And this positively infantile preoccupation with bosoms. In all time in this wretched Godforsaken country, the one thing that has appalled me most of all this this prepostrous preoccupation with bosoms. Don't you realize they have become the dominant theme in American culture: in literature, advertising and all fields of entertainment and everything. I'll wager you anything you like that if American women stopped wearing brassieres, your whole national economy would collapse overnight."

Some of those cavebabes had great gams!

I will admit that America has been a matriarchy, Eurotrash had problems with that, especially the boob difference.

Coming from an old American Family, after the first kid and gravity boobs did not get in the way of reloading the fire lock.

Then there is the the pleasure of removing trophies from the savages, see Hanna Dustin.

Gutsy lady!

[Little Bill]

They don’t play her as the Model American Woman in Haverhill any more. I used to tell my daughter that if she pissed me off, her future Home was GAR Park next to the Dustin Statue.

Oh, I can only imagine what the P.C. crowd says about Hannah today. Me? Hey, she's my kind of woman. I bet her husband made real sure to get his honey do’s done, though.

When I was subjected to Physical Therapy a year or so ago, after I broke my hp, I was talking to a young women Therapist and I mentioned that white settlement was driven out in Maine during King Philips War.

She said good, she was white and not Indian, would she have survived in 1697?

If that therapist believed that she should, in the inimitable words of Helen Thomas, “go home” - to Europe.
