Flutes Offer Clues to Stone-Age Music
 |
Archaeologists reported the discovery last fall of a bone flute and two fragments of ivory flutes that they said represented the earliest known flowering of music-making in Stone Age culture. They said the bone flute with five finger holes, found at Hohle Fels Cave in the hills west of Ulm, was “by far the most complete of the musical instruments so far recovered from the caves” in a region where pieces of other flutes have been turning up in recent years. A version of this article appeared in print on June 25, 2009, on page A12 of the New York edition. |
