Experimental study of the aerophone of Isturitz: Manufacture, use-wear analysis and acoustic tests

Garcia Benito, Carlos ; Alcolea Gracia, Marta (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Mazo Pérez, Carlos (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: In order to evaluate the musical performance of the most complete Gravettian aerophone recovered at the site of Isturitz, two experimental replicas were reproduced from the ulna of a griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus), each with a different way of elaborating their holes (boring and scraping). The operational chain that involves their manufacture is a sequence of single and simple actions that does not require the use of specialized tools. Its acoustics are explained by performing sound in three different ways in both replicas.
