Palaeolithic art in Slovenia
View through CrossRef
This article is a review of Slovenian Palaeolithic ‘art’ objects. Most were found quite some time ago and were described as ‘art’ by their excavators, who undertook no further examination and authentication. More recent finds, like the Mousterian ‘flute’, were thoroughly examined,but in the case of the flute, there is still no uniform agreement on whether it was used as musical instrument or not. The only objects which are definitely artificial are engraved bone points, two engraved stones and three pieces of jewellery from Late Palaeolithic sites.
