Venus figurines with Stephanie Haro - Rock Art 46

Alan brings on a guest to talk about a different sort of art today - objects that are commonly known as Venus Figurines. Were they early pronographic objects used to arouse men as the first archaeologists that discovered them thought or were they symbols of fertility and used as talismen to bring forth a good birth? Stephanie Haro has been studying these and she talks about them on this episode.
