In this paper, they are discussed in every significant organological detail and are compared with similar finds; and an attempt is made to reconstruct them verbally. Of special mention are: the elegant string holder of the lyre and the affinity of the aulos to some other significant exemplars. 2020-02-11 15:22:53 lyre chelys early aulos Archaeology of Europe, the Mediterranean and the Levant
