Flautas Triples de Jaina y Copán. un Estudio Arqueoacústico

A groundbreaking archaeoacoustic study reveals that ancient Maya flutes from Jaina and Copán, Honduras, emitted a diverse range of sounds, offering new insights into the role of acoustics in Maya communication. The research analyzed two triple-hole flutes—one from Jaina and another from an burial site at Copán—to explore their sonic potential, manufacturing techniques, and cultural significance. By examining these artifacts, the study provides evidence that sound was a vital medium for social interaction among pre-Hispanic Maya societies, marking a significant advancement in understanding non-verbal communication in Mesoamerican cultures.
