3. A challenge to some of the myths on those mythical artefacts |
c) The person was not a Great Priest or a Shaman but a "revered holy woman"
But who was the adult buried with the inscribed tablets?
If one wants to go on with the image of a ritual pit, one should start to talk about the Tartaria Priestess, shaman-woman or dignitary-woman. In this phase of the research we prefer to talk about the "Milady Tartaria" and to indicate her as a "revered holy woman".

In fact she was buried with a pile of artifacts which could be only ritual.
Why does most part of the figurines have a phallus-shape? Among the ritual objects an pendant-idol anchor has been found. Was this strange artifact connected with the weaving process as in Sitagroi, Servia, Ayios Mamas, and Dikili Tash?
