Neolithic music

Neolithic music refers to the sounds and instruments created during the Neolithic period (around 10,000 to 4,500 BCE), when humans transitioned to settled farming communities. Although there are no written records, archaeologists discover evidence of musical activity through artifacts like bone flutes, drums, and ritual objects. These instruments suggest early humans used sound for communication, spiritual rituals, and social cohesion. Neolithic music likely played a vital role in community bonding and ceremonial practices, reflecting the cultural and spiritual life of early agricultural societies.
