If I remember correctly, these figures were AFTER farming,
therefore not paleo.  Most of what I have read about these
representations says they were fertility associated:  a
woman must have a certain body status to ovulate and the
very thin such as marathoners do not (or so it is
reported).  Therefore, wouldn't the makers of the figurines
want fat females for their representations?
