Abstract

The article considers the position of archaeology regarding erotic artefacts from Antiquity. Artefacts of erotic character were almost entirely disregarded in professional and scientific analyses and have only lately become a matter of specific scientific interest. The paper specifies some of the important reasons for their absence from archaeological publications, as well as recent attempts to fill in the resulting gap and to make up for the time lost by the neglect of such artefacts as soon as possible.
