I read an interesting essay called "Scottish ethnohistory and Archaeological Reconstruction" which made the point that searching for a universal truth based on the similarity of similar artefacts is like people a 1000 years from now saying female statues, barbies, china dancing ladies and every other female representation frlom our time period was a representation of "the goddess".


Seems reasonable . Who by ?
We seem to have moved on, thankfully , from those days when Mellaart and Gimbutas saw signs of the goddess everywhere . The female and feminist archaeologists now working at Catal Hoyuk have a far more sensible approach .
