This article provides a scientific analysis of the anthropomorphic (human-shaped) and zoomorphic (animal-shaped) terracotta
figurines discovered at the Bronze Age site of Sapallitepa. The study examines the formation characteristics of these artifacts,
their connection to art and religious beliefs, as well as their role in socio-cultural life. Archaeological findings are evaluated as
significant evidence for understanding the culture of the population that lived during the Bronze Age. The article also compares
these figurines with similar artifacts from other regions, analyzing their historical and cultural aspects.
