#Matriliny in Neolithic E #China over 4500 years ago among millet farmers on the coast, with dual organisation of matrilineal clans.

'Fujia inhabitants engaged in millet-based farming and animal husbandry, with probable access to marine and/or freshwater resources.'
Pigs, not large livestock...were LH Morgan and Engels right on matrilineal priority then?

From #Durotriges account on blue sky:

"Hiding in plain sight: the Neolithic statue-menhir of St Marie de Castel #Guernsey

Discovered beneath the church in 1878, this megalithic goddess now keeps watch over the cemetery, her shape echoed in those of later tombstones"

The shape shows her breasts, the left #breast still intact, the other flaked away
