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

it may be the expression of human and animal transcendence, the transformation of an animal into man and man in an animal. This is a representation of the „centaur" type. It was the shaman who could be endowed with this extraordinary ability. The cavity in the animal's body has undoubtedly an important meaning that could be similar to that of the anthropomorphic and zoomorphic vessels. We know this idea even from the beginning of the upper Palaeolithic. This is an extraordinary archaeological find of the man-lion of Höhlenstein-Stadel.

Rattle in theform of a turtle could serve asa rhythmic simple musical or acoustic accompaniment of a shaman's or (woman) shaman's verbal expression. Sarisské Michal'any (Siska 2000, 382, Fig. 2: 28-29), Presov district (northeast Slovakia).

In the Neolithic are already real shrines, such as excellent archaeological discoveries on the settlements of Parta in Banat (Serbia), Vésztő-Mágor of the Tisza culture in Hungary, others in Sabatinovka II, Kolomijscina, or sacred places in the homes of the Tripylje culture Nezizko, Vladimirovka, Kostisa and Bil'ce Zolotoe in Ukraine, of the Cucuteni culture Tru§e§ti in Romania.
