Because intact sound-producing instruments -- the conch-shell "trumpets" or musical horns known today in the Andes as "pututus" -- have been excavated at Chavín, we can study and record how these artifact instruments sound, and measure their acoustics.
In 2001, twenty Strombus galeatus marine shell trumpets were excavated at the 3,000 year-old ceremonial center at Chavín de Huántar, Perú, marking the first documented contextual discovery of intact sound-producing instruments at this Formative Period site in the Andean highlands.
Single 20 µl samples (n = 4) were analyzed using the automated iSYS instrument (Intact Procollagen I N-terminal propeptide analysis (PINP), IDS, Newcastle, UK).
A group of 20 spectacularly decorated, playable Strombus galeatus marine shell trumpets or "pututus" were excavated in 2001 at the 3,000 year-old Formative Period ceremonial center at Chavín de Huántar, Perú, whose intact architecture gives these instruments plausible acoustic venues that can be studied today.
Just pondering whether your pilot is well-rested or if your plane's instruments are intact could spark the jitters.
The instrument arrived intact, but Mrs. Clogston found that at some point it had been clumsily repaired and incorrectly reassembled.
