Can Sadurni figurine
Excavations in Catalonia have produced the oldest figurine to be found on the Iberian peninsula at a cave site, Can Sadurni, where previous important finds have shed light on early food production in the area – including the earliest evidence of the production and consumption of beer. Excavators are now speculating that the site may have served as a meeting point for the nearby inhabitants at that time.
The statuette consists of the the torso, neck and arm of the figure, made of heavily tempered pottery. Various features difficult to see with the naked eye are also described in the article, including marks that may indicate jewellery and clothing and certain anatomical features, like spine and breasts.
