Estudio interdisciplinario de idiófonos ludidos (omichicahuaztli) procedentes de las excavaciones de Teotenango, Estado de México.

In this paper we present the interdisciplinary study of human notched bone idiophones (called omichicahuaztli in Náhuatl) which were excavated at the Teotenango archaeological site, located in Estado de México, Mexico, in the seventies. The analysis provided in this paper takes into account data that relates to the archaeological contexts where the bones were found, but also considers osteological, taphonomic, acoustical and linguistic analysis. Such an interdisciplinary approach offers a more relevant interpretation of the meaning and the significance of these instruments of matlatzincas prehispanic contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
