Internal Structure
CT scans showed the internal bore channels carved into the bone. These channels revealed how artisans shaped airflow pathways to produce specific tones.
Manufacturing Techniques
Density variations indicated where bone was thinned or reinforced. Some flutes showed evidence of patching with resin or clay.
Cultural Interpretation
The flutes matched known musical traditions in the Levant. Internal structure helped reconstruct their acoustic properties.
Preservation Impact
CT imaging allowed researchers to study fragile bone instruments without handling them extensively.
