Abstract

Archaeological researches carried out over time in the reference sites belonging to the Vădastra civilization in Oltenia led to the discovery of a significant number of figurines. In the present article, there are to be presented six figurines in the sitting position, belonging to Vădastra culture, from Oltenia, which were discovered in the settlements from Hotărani, La Turn point, and Vlădila, both in the Olt County. Most researchers believe that anthropomorphic plastic representations are related to the cult of fertility and fecundity.
