In this study we present the serendipitous discovery of a terracotta musical instrument dating back to the Turdetanian period. The object in question is a female figurine with a whistle modeled on its reverse side and was found in the Laguna Dulce of Coto de Doñana, Huelva. The figurine exhibits significant wear and tear due to erosion and rolling, making the observation of its details challenging. This discovery occurred during field investigations focused on the impact of desiccation on the flora and fauna of the lagoon in September 2023. It is worth noting that the Laguna Dulce is part of a group of lagoons that were once much larger, and this figurine likely remained submerged until the recent drying of the body of water. This archaeological find provides valuable insights into the musical culture and history of the region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
