Abstract

In the Neolithic period, the production of clay Figurines in animal and human shapes became common in Fertile Crescent and soon became prevalent in most sites of the Near East. The abundance of the Figurines in many Neolithic sites shows its importance by the mentioned societies. Although there is a considerable variety in the forms of the Neolithic human Figurines, some striking similarities are distinguishable. One of the common form is the form of seated Figurines which has been common in many Neolithic sites. It was only from the early Neolithic period when this style got common while in prior period, Upper Paleolithic, this style was not considered. The result shows that the seated Figurines from Neolithic to early Chalcolithic period covers a vast geographical area from West Levant to North East part of Iran’ s central plateau. In this paper, by adding some data from Iran, it is attempted to draw geographical distribution of seated human Figurines in Near East. The main aim of this research is to see how the Figurines were related together based on the form and style. While the Figurines of some sites of Iran were in hand in this study, the rest information was gathered based on the publications. The method of this study is comparative study of the Figurines forms to see their relation together. With the cultural historic point of view, this research is attempted to provide an overview to the geographical and timetable dispersion of the human seated Figurines of Neolithic to Chalcolithic period. Based on the coincidence of the domestication distribution and the clay Figurines manufactory in many sites of Near East on one hand and the repetition of some forms like seated Figurines on the other hand, it seems that some forms of Figurines were affected by the cultural interactions.
