Seems music and tech have been inexorably intwined for millennia but researchers have discovered the connect extends nearly as far back as the emergence of homo sapiens, something most interesting to say the least.
Scientists led by Thomas Higham of the University of Oxford in England reported last week that improved radiocarbon tests determined that animal bones found with the flutes were 42,000 to 43,000 years old. This is close to the time when the first anatomically modern humans were spreading into Central Europe, presumably along the Danube River valley.
A writer's ambition should be to trade a hundred contemporary readers for ten readers in ten years' time and for one reader in a hundred years' time. - Arthur Koestler
The ancient craftsman who made this should be proud. :)
