河姆渡遗址出土“骨哨”研究

摘要

浙江河姆渡遗址经过1973年与1977年两次考古发掘，出土了一百余件用禽类肢骨加工的带孔骨管。当时经音乐工作者鉴定，认为是作为乐器使用的哨、笛。数十年来，河姆渡遗址出土的管状带孔骨器是一种乐器——骨哨（笛）的观点被学界和社会广为接受。但最新的微痕研究表明它不是作为乐器使用的器具，很有可能是一种古老的原始纺织器具。%Over 100 holed pipes made from limb bones of birds were unearthed at the Hemudu site of ZheJiang through the two archaeological excavations conducted in 1973 and 1977. The bone pipes were believed to be musical instruments of whistles or flutes by some musicians, which has been generally accepted in the academic circle and the society for almost one decade. The latest microwear analyses on these pipes, however, suggest that they may not be musical instruments, but primitive tools for textile weaving.
