Categories of Archaic Anthropomorphic Statuettes and Their Interrelation with the Content of the Symbol Concept

Summary/Abstract: The article approaches systematically the types of anthropomorphic representations in the archaic statuary in its entire size range, and attempts to set subjective categories of criteria for structuring the representation’s objectual patrimony.The illustrated supporting text establishes the categories of the anthropomorphic representation based on the following criteria: size, motivation, representation contents and stylistics, and it highlights the continuity of all sculptural representation species in the historical ages. The second part of the text describes in detail and gives an applied definition of the Symbol concept, through the philosophical, psychological,anthropological, historical and cultural conclusions of well-known theorists, pointing out and justifying the major differences between the archaic age man and the contemporary man’s ability to decode symbols.
