摘要：In this paper the author presents cult vessels - rhytons, stylized anthropomorphic bell-shaped figurines, so-called phalli, and anthropomorphic figurines that were discovered in Istria, which are chronologically tied to a group of plastic artifacts that were registered along the eastern Adriatic coast, the deeper hinterland of northeastern and southern Italy, and the Aegean in the period from the end of the Early Neolithic until the middle of the Late Neolithic. He deals with issues concerning appearance and distribution as well as with problems that arise when interpreting their utilitarian function.
