A probe into the spiritual life of prehistoric people, a reflection of shamanism in archaeology 2009b, 119). The anthropomorphic vessels have the same meaning. We describe these vessels as kernos also. It was the main (central) vessel in the form of a woman with raised limbs ended by miniature vessels. We consider it very important that these vessels illustrate a female figure (a woman shaman, a priestess) in a ceremonial attitude, apparently in a sacrificial ritual. For the time being, these gynaecomorphic and anthropomorphic vessels have not been found directly in the ditches of rondels. There are also a number of examples of connected vessels that could have the same purpose of ritual vessels. Note the cup in the form of human legs ended by three connected smaller cups with protrusions on the convexity (FIG. 20). The legs were rendered realistically. Five fingers were modeled on each foot. It was discovered again on the important enclosed settlement Hluboké Masúvky - Padélky nad hospodou. We are dating it to MOG lia phase. We designate it as a pseudonymous kernos. Compared to the cup of Strelice-Kloboucek (MOG la), however, there is a numerical difference in the form of a central cup and four miniature bowls on the perimeter. We cannot rule out that this difference may reflect differences in other rituals or differences affected by time during the phase MOG la (about 4688-4615 BC) and in the MOG lia phase (about 4523-4375 BC). The time distance between the average start values of the two phases is 165 years and the difference between the ends of these phases is 240 years. Anthropomorphic and zoomorphic statuettes or vessels, including gynaecomorphic vessels, could be parts of the home altars in each house on a Neolithic settlement (FIG. 21). We think that these cultic artefacts could be ritually destroyed after the end of living in a house. New cult parts of the home altar could also be made into the new house. Unique is the finding of a ritual statuette / small vessel with goat / billy goat or ram / sheep body (FIG. 22), but with the human face (Kosturik 1979, 38, Tab. 15 :18) phase lb of the Moravian-East Austrian group (MOG) from Jaromërice nad Rokytnou, Treble district (Southwest Moravia, Czech Republic).3 We suppose Fig. 18.
