	Dolni Vestonice and the Three Sisters
		In 1986, near a village called Dolni Vestonice in the Czech province of Moravia, the bodies of three teenagers were discovered in a common grave.
		Dolni Vestonice was an Upper Paleolithic habitation in Czechoslovakia on a swamp at the joint of two rivers near the Moravian mountains.
		A consideration of the postmortem damage on the isolated human remains from the Dolni Vestonice II site indicates that geological processes (other than sediment compaction and minor erosion) are unlikely to have produced the taphonomic patterns observed, but that human and/or carnivore processing of the bodies were responsible for the observed distribution.

		Many of the engraved Magdelenian females depicted on the La Marche limestone slabs are obese in the manner of the Gravettian "Venus" figurines; the majority have upraised arms of normal width; many have been renewed or overengraved.
		The "Venus" of Willendorf, one of the type figurines of the Gravettian (see Marshack 1991b), is short and exaggeratedly wide (see McDermott's fig.
		That diversity is not a result of autogenous observation or of "conscious mastery of the material conditions unique to women's reproductive lives" but perhaps represented the opposite-the recognition of and ritual, mythologized participation in the uncertainties and dangers that surrounded the processes of life, birth and death.

	Ceramic Figurines -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The earliest figurines were made of stone; more recent creations are also made of ceramic, metal, wood, plastic, etc. The earliest figurines are often of pregnant female women, and are called Venus figurines, in reference to their presumed representation of a female goddess, or in any case some connection to fertility.
		Two much older finds are also often categorized as Venus figurines - the Venus of Berekhet Ram, dating to between 800,000 and 233,000 BCE, and the Venus of Tan-Tan, which dates to between 500,000 and 300,000 BCE, the Middle Acheulean period.
		I remember reading, in a basic first-year anthropology survey class, that the Venus figurines maybe be the self-image of the women who created them - "the body as seen by a woman looking down on herself".

		The famous Venus of Willendorf comes from this area, and much goddess material is stored in the archaeological museum in Vienna, as that was the centre of the Austro-Hungarian empire, which ruled all these countries in modern history until 1918.
		There is ample evidence that they were aligned to the phases of the moon, and to women's need to count ahead in connection with menstrual periods and childbirth and to relate these to the moon's phases.
		For instance, the Dolni Vestonice material reads: "The oldest 'Venuses' symbolise woman in her triple role as propagator of the race, protector of the communal economy and totemic female ancestor [which] bears witness to the important position of women in that period".
