NOTES These are usually ritual objects, burial goods or just objects to be looked at rather like we have pottery dogs or vases on a shelf. These come from a time when the Farmer /Hunter was finally settling down in one place as mainly a Farmer. So these objects may have been used to ensure good harvests and good animal husbandry. The three resembling the male organ are rare pieces of antiquity. The female (round) phallic fertility stone is a real exceptional piece indeed.
