ABSTRACT This paper discusses archaeological evidence of sound- and music-related artefacts from the southern African archaeological record, from Later Stone Age, Iron Age and historic contexts. The artefacts described fall within two groups, aerophones and idiophones. They include a bullroarer, spinning disks, bone tubes that might have been used as flutes, a trumpet, whistles, bells and mbira keys. The artefacts are made of bone, clay and metal. Original research and information gained through a literature review are reported. Ethnographic sources were also consulted in order to attempt to provide a broader contextual background against which knowledge of the archaeological implements could be expanded. This research is one of the first reports on southern African sound- and music-related artefacts. It is not exhaustive, but is intended as the basis for further development through collaboration.

过去10,000年以来南部非洲与音乐和声音有关的考古文物

摘要本文讨论了来自南部非洲考古记录，后来石器时代，铁器时代和历史背景的与声音和音乐有关的文物的考古学证据。所描述的文物分为航空器和惯用器两类。它们包括斗牛士，旋转盘，可能用作长笛的骨管，小号，哨子，铃铛和mbira键。人工制品由骨头，粘土和金属制成。报告了原始研究和通过文献综述获得的信息。还咨询了人种学资料，以试图提供更广泛的背景资料，以此为背景可以扩展考古工具的知识。这项研究是有关南部非洲与声音和音乐有关的人工制品的第一批报告之一。这并不详尽，
