Twenty years after the death of Lithuanian archaeologist Marija Gimbutas, her original contribution to archaeological research still awaits to be fully exploited. Her vast scientific production, dedicated above all to the theme of the great mother goddess and her symbologies, thanks to the plastic representations that she herself brought to light during her career as a field archaeologist in the major European Neolithic sites, is analyzed in this volume, for the first time in its entirety, in the meaning it had in an era in which the historical disciplines had experienced an increase in technicalities and in which Gimbutas represented an absolute exception, often isolated and debated in the scientific community.
