Dear all
Have someone references to whistle prepared on artyodactila phallanx? We
had found an impressive ammount of them (picture attached) in two site
from Inka period (1476-1541 b.C.) in Chile, using bi-perforated 2nd
Phallanx of American camelidae (Lama sp.).
I had found some references to this perforated phallanx interpreted both
as pendants or whistles in european Upper Paleolithic, but none in south
american or even american contexts.
Best wishes

The Ring and dot patterns are made with a 3 (or more for concentric circles) pronged tool, two of which have been found from Early Med contexts in the Czech Republic, I am specifically looking for any evidence of other metal ring and dot tools from the Early Med in Europe.
