	British Archaeology, no 8, October 1995: Interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Ucko, however, dismisses the editorial with laconic contempt: `There is nothing abnormal about people being head-hunted,' he says; and in any case, so far as controversies go, this one is nothing compared to the major international show-down he prompted over the ban on South African delegates to the World Archaeological Congress (WAC) in 1986.
		The ban, and Ucko himself, were strongly attacked for intellectual incoherence and dubious morality by roughly half the people around the world who took an interest; while the other half supported the ban just as passionately as a principled stand, albeit perhaps only a gesture, against apartheid.
		Peter Ucko can be aggressive under pressure, rocking agitatedly from side to side in his swivel-chair, and batting back questions that (he thinks) put him on the spot.

	"The Goddess Remembered" - A Case of "False Memory Syndrome"
		Professor Ucko reminded readers that a large minority of Neolithic figurines were male or asexual, that few if any statuettes had signs of majesty or supernatural power, and that few of them had accentuated sexual characteristics (the 'pubic triangles' on many of them could be loincloths).
		He warned against glib interpretations of the gestures portrayed upon figures; thus, early Egyptian figurines of women holding their breasts had been taken as 'obviously' significant of maternity or fertility, but the Pyramid Texts had revealed that in Egypt this was the female sign of grief....
		In the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, Simon Peter says, "Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of Life." Jesus replies, "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males.

	Some Critiques of the Feminist/New Age "Goddess" Claims
		However, the same mood of iconoclasm in the late 1960s which inspired Peter Ucko and Andrew Fleming brought into being a women's movement bent upon challenging patriarchy in both society and religion.
		Professor Ucko's book was an academic monograph with a forbidding title, while Dr. Fleming's essay was lodged in a scholarly periodical; the old popular works were still lining public library shelves (and indeed being reprinted), and they provided some radicals with precisely the universal female deity they had been seeking.
		She accepted Peter Ucko's work to the extent of speaking of different goddesses and gods instead of one.
