For those of us into the Native American history and their material culture, I found these to be truly awesome. I love how perfect they are and the wear around the holes. I've studied quite a bit of native history here and have given museum talks, but these I never knew about till today.

Nice! I'd sure like to hear them in action.

@LosDosSloFolks
Yeah...knowing nothing about flutes (or music for that matter) I wonder how independent invention of instruments like this separate the notes (or define their scales, or whatever you call it).

@Hansenaz
Indeed...'our' music utilizes "tones" & "semi-tones" (steps and half steps). I'm guessing there is already an application for some grant money to have someone like R. Carlos Nakai do a comparison study with these flutes for someones paper or thesis. Publish or perish in academia.

@LosDosSloFolks
I did a couple of music jams with Carlos for art show openings.

Perhaps not only for music, we know they also had talking sticks. Perhaps they could be used to call or summon game. I would image living on mainly beans and squash, things might have been a little gassie in the kiva.

Fascinating! I just finished reading a biography of Earl Morris.
