The interpretation problem is one of the main problems of coroplast researching. A strong images interpretation was developed for several centuries of figurines study. The coroplast was considered in the framework of ideas about religion and mythology. It should be noted that a similar approach is typical for researching of prehistoric figurines. Over the last years, the range of questions about coroplast was expanded significantly. The purpose of this article is to analyze new interpretations of ancient plastic. Modern semantics approaches to coroplast help to take a fresh look at the ancient figurines, to draw structural and functional parallels. It opens up perspective in the formation of new complex approaches to plastic in whole.

В статье автор рассматривает ряд проблем связанных с исследованием мелкой пластики в контексте мировой художественной культуры. Одной из основных является проблема идентификации – определения мелкой пластики как вида изобразительного искусства или же, искусства декоративно прикладного. Произведения искусства малых форм встречаются в разных культурах и в разные исторические периоды и, несмотря на большое разнообразие, имеют ряд схожих иконографических и иконологических признаков. При этом относятся то к памятникам изобразительного искусства то к предметам искусства декоративно-прикладного. В статье, автор рассматривает эту проблему. Автор также выявляет семантические и стилистические связи между мелкой пластикой и другими видами мобильного искусства.

The article is dedicated to the history of research of Tripolye-Cucuteni figurines, to the sources analysis. This paper presents problem of research mainly in the context of archeology. There are disadvantages of such approach. Archeological researches give a lot of facts for dating and classification of figurines, but mostly do not reflect stylistic and substantial characteristics of statuettes. Many researchers very often do not pay attention on the interpretation problem of Tripolye-Cucuteni figurines, focusing only on the level of formal analysis. The author suggests an alternative, interdisciplinary approach to research of Tripolye-Cucuteni figurines, including methods of art history. It is necessary to assess sources for further researching of Tripolye-Cucuteni figurines. It is important to educe approaches from the perspective of different fields of science. Only composite using of achievements of each science field gives possibility for full research of figurines.

There are a lot of items of statuettes of the European cultures of the Neolithic and the Copper Age (7–3 millennium BC): anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figurines, various models, etc. Many of such items are original art works. Over the 20th century the interpretation of such pieces of art was mainly based on antecedent concept of ties between statuettes and fertility cults and also perceptions of Great
Goddess. An analysis of some statuettes sets has revealed that there are female and male figurines, which are organized in stable character groups. It gave a reason to suppose that such sets represented a group of ancestors. The cult of ancestors and ancestor’s images in various forms are represented in the world anthropology and they are important part of spiritual culture of traditional societies. An analysis of
antique, particularly Roman material gives close structural analogies to the European statuettes of the Neolithic Age. In extant texts a whole group of gods associated with house and family is mentioned: Genii Familiae, Lares Familiares et Compitales, Penates. As a number of researchers suppose, cults of such gods date back to honor of family or community ancestors. The iconography’s research of “household” gods shows a connection between Lares and house. Figurines and images of Lares are usual placed on “Lararium” — hovel, often framed by a portico — a kind of house model. Some features of Lares and Penates cult and it’s iconography give base to draw a parallel between Lares and Penates and certain
groups of the early-agriculturalist statuettes, which can be interpreted as character’s images connected with ancestor’s cult — either a direct ancestors or general mythology ancestors of ethnic group.
