Трасологический анализ нескольких бронзовых антропоморфных фигурок

Abstract

В последние годы усилился интерес к средневековым антропоморфным бронзовым фигуркам - так называемым “уродцам”. Это связано с новыми находками фигурок а также с публикацией статуэток, найденных несколько десятилетий назад.This paper is devoted to the use-wear analysis of three bronze figurines of “lususes” found recently. Manufacturing and applicability of the anthropomorphous figures is dwelt upon. Possible ways of fastening of the figurines have been discussed. The traces of use found on the figurines indicate that these objects had been used for a long time until they were partially destroyed. Application of the use-wear method has proved to be a valuable instrument for studying original bronze anthropomorphous figurines.
