A probe into the spiritual life of prehistoric people, a reflection of shamanism in archaeology

the late Neolithic were idols of fertility cult (not only animals but also humans) and fruitfulness (fields). Female terracottas were symbols of reproduction, and therefore may serve during ceremonies to provide enough livelihood. They were the symbols of „Great Mother, Magna Mater", „Mother Earth" as the regenerator of nature, the cyclicality of life. Anthropomorphic statuettes could also be used as a substitution for bloody victims. We do not exclude their use as a magic aid in childbirth. The birth of a child, a new person, is a real miracle. A woman is the object of a man's love (Kovárník 2010,128). Another unique statuette the painted pottery culture of the late Neolithic is the finding of torso of a man and woman showing a coitus, sacred wedding, hieros gamos, from hill fort Kramolin-Hradisko, Treble district (Kosturik 1976, 110, Fig. 5; Kruta-Poppi 2009, 61, Fig. 3), of the Moravian-East-Austrian group, phase MOG lla-b (FIG. 9). Anthropomorphic statuettes met the devotional principle.
