Abstract: This study focuses on early anthropomorphic clay figurines in Tamil Nadu and the timing of their appearance in relation to periods of important changes in settlement, community, and ceremonialism. I interrogate the nature of these correlations by asking what figurines do that encouraged the emergence of widespread traditions of figurine manufacture and use as people were settling down? Answering this question involves examining early figurines and their broader context through a model of the socioeconomic dynamics of settling down in conjunction with the materiality of miniature 3-D anthropomorphic figurines. To build this argument, I present an overview of unreported figurine assemblages from the Early historical period in Illinois and use these as a jumping-off point to discuss the emergence of early human figurines in Tamil Nadu.
Keywords: figurines, South India, Tamil Nadu, socioeconomic dynamics, materiality, ritualistic,
