New analyses of the "flute" from Divje babe I (Slovenia)
Abstract
The paper re-analyses the disputed find of a suspected flute from the Mousterian layer in Divje babe I (Slovenia). The two most probable hypotheses of the creation of the holes were checked experimentally. The hypothesis that they are of artificial origin seems more probable. The alternative, that the holes were made by teeth, would have required abnormal biting or chewing behaviour by cave hyena using their canine teeth. The presence of cave hyena has not been established at the site.
