Abstract:

While much attention has been paid to the anthropomorphic figurines of the Yarmukian culture, very little is known about the zoomorphic representations made by the same people. This paper fills the gap by presenting a full corpus of the zoomorphic figurines uncovered at Sha'ar Hagolan, the type site of the Yarmukian culture. There are 38 items, all illustrated by drawings and a few by photographs. In addition, several zoomorphic figurines from Pre-Pottery Neolithic B Munhata have been re-examined and are discussed here.
