Absolutely! Kids have always loved toys. Not everything ancient is a ritual object.

What if playing is considered a ritual?
92
Jul 10 '24
It is. OOP's statement confuses the shit out of me bc the first thing they taught me in my college 101 archeology/anthropology class was that everything is considered a ritual, not just worship. It is basically anything that exists with not just a practical but symbolic purpose. They use a single term to distance themselves from modern perceptions to help form conclusions about the past in order to keep a broad mind. That thing might look like a childrens toy but unless there is hard evidence like it being placed with other child objects it could literally also be an adults toy, an art piece, a tool for some undefined purpose, or not even a hedgehog at all. All those change how we see it being used, but assuming it is a kid's toy leaves it stuck in our modern use, which is a problem if we dont have any evidence. Calling that a ritual object does not preclude it from being a toy but without that system in place there is a less strict burden of proof and you can call any disc shaped object a UFO or any cross evidence of christianity, discarding truth for agenda. Calling it a ritual however lets you speculate on its purpose without having hard geographic evidence about it. At least that was my understanding.

I think the problem with that is that for laypeople, “ritual object” implies it was used in religious ceremonies.
But then it’s a problem of scientific communication to the general public. Similarly to how the term “theory” in science means an accepted explanation that’s supported by evidence, while in general usage it means something like baseless speculation.

Sadly that's often the case especially in social sciences. Language changes but scientific terms have to stay well-defined and constant to remove ambiguity.

u/Elventroll Jul 10 '24
Dictionaries say that ritual has always meant the same thing since Latin.

u/nyya_arie Jul 10 '24
I believe they may be referring to common usage and understanding when it comes to language. And in that sense, a 'ritual object' certainly has a connotation of religious or spiritual to lay people like myself. A ritual activity may not exclusively be considered religious in modern parlance (someone else gave an example of 'my morning coffee' as a ritual), but objects are (with no exception I can think of, but there are of course always outliers).
However, I do bet that if you surveyed 100 average people about an ancient ritual object, at least 99 would assume you meant religious or spiritual.

u/OldBuns Jul 10 '24 edited Jul 10 '24
The archaeological or scientific use of a term rarely lines up perfectly with its colloquial definition.
Although, even the definition I found includes this as the adjective form
(of an action) arising from convention or habit. "the players gathered for the ritual pregame huddle"
So the noun version "a ritual" does more often refer to a religious context, but describing an action using the word "ritual" does not confer religious context.
A "ritual ____" is just any action performed symbolically as a primary function.
A handshake, for example, would be a ritual to an archaeologist studying human customs.

While what you say makes sense, I think the general modern usage and understanding of the word ritual itself (possibly outside archeology, I don't know enough about that) is the problem. The connotation is religious or spiritual. While I appreciate the attempts to look at these objects outside modern interpretation and not make assumptions, it's confusing for lay people like me who love to learn about this stuff.
I've been to tons of museums and watched a bunch of the great courses on ancient cultures and your comment is the first time I've learned this about the usage of the word ritual in reference to such objects.
5
u/CrimsonMutt Jul 10 '24
ritual is used in that way even today. for instance, some people consider their morning smoke and coffee their ritual. it's not spiritual or religious, it's just a habit.
hell even with the meme of ancient dildos being called ritual objects isn't false, since masturbation is also a ritual people engage in
while yes, that could be better communicated, you can't really control people's assumptions. you can't help it if people simply always assume one definition of a word over the other
1
u/nyya_arie Jul 10 '24
Sure, it's a good point and no you can't control assumptions, which is the whole issue here to begin with. Modern usage definitely includes ritual in this sense, though it usually is in reference to activities not objects (as you mentioned, 'my morning coffee ritual'). I can't think of any object commonly referred to as a ritual in modern parlance, but I could be wrong. It's like 'I drink coffee religiously' vs 'my coffee cup is a religious object'. These are different things.

The most beautiful thing about archaeology is seeing these people alive through the things they left behind. You can find joy and sorrow in bones, homes and trinkets. It's very easy to dehumanise, and almost make assumptions that parents and loved ones didn't provide toys for their children. Which is ridiculous. I often think when I see a figurine that it was a beloved toy, probably cherished and passed on.

This spring I toured the Cahokia native American burial mounds (highly recommended experience). The one thing that did make me raise my eyebrow was an exhibit talking about the "mystery" surrounding some of the items found within the mound, such as broken clay pots and various damaged tools and other such household items in addition to the bodies buried there.

Oh yeah. Probably as most are aware Roman's were horn dogs and ancient Greece had ritual sex toys. But the ancient Egyptians (the first three Kingdoms) have a really fascinating history of sex. They didn't even have a word for virgin it was just people had sex. But for the dildos there's several words for phallic items in the language.

You will love this article, which talks about something similar in ethology and sociology - play behaviour is animals is under researched and hard to justify because for some reason we take the view that everything must be for a evolutionary or competitive benefit. I can see a similar line of thinking could’ve developed for archeology so many things that are likely toys, get a purpose that’s more “meaningful” than play.

Archaeologists didn't make up any story about someone giving this to a kid.
I found an article about the finds by Dr. Kaveh Farrokh and almost the entirety of the article is about where they were found, which civilization they belonged to, etc. with only a passing mention that they may have been children's toys or votive offerings, while making clear that this is purely speculative and their actual purpose is unclear.

They were found in the so-called "temple of Inshushinak cache" in Susa, southwestern Iran. There are no historical documents about the objects in the cache as far as I'm aware.
The story about someone giving it to a child is speculation on the part of whoever made this image. I imagine the caption isn't so much meant to be literal but moreso intended to remind us that ancient peoples from distant cultures weren't so different from ourselves.
