Nearly 100 archaeological pieces from the ancient cultures of Albania, Macedonia, Romania, and Japan will be brought together this summer for an exhibition entitled Unearthed, presented at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in Norwich. Works from the Japanese Jomon culture, which existed from 14,000 B.C. to the first century A.D., will be juxtaposed with those from the Balkan Neolithic cultures, which developed between 6,500 B.C. and 2,500 B.C., inviting reflection upon the differences and possible commonalities in the meanings, uses, and identities given them by their makers. The two cultures created figurines made of clay, which were later broken, and the exhibition attempts to understand if these cultural processes can be related to one another. Unearthed is a sequel to a show produced by the British Museum last winter on the Jomon culture and seeks to further our understanding of these fascinating figures, which evoke humanity's first attempts at artistic expression.
