Interpretation of prehistoric human representations, portrayal of human qualities or of the human body itself has long been at the core of archaeological research. Clay statuettes of the Bronze Age are a specific type of source to decode and reconstruct clothing and jewellery fashion. New discoveries and recent studies allow a more accurate dating of these objects into the Late – Final Bronze Age (BD–HB). Most of the figurines presented in this paper were found during archaeological surveys, what makes both the exact location and dating considerably certain. A small part of the collection has long been known to archaeologists, current analysis might shed new light on both their interpretation and dating.
