Neolithic Rock n Roll

Music has a long and ancient history in the world and runs the gamut of chants and grunts to bone whistles and clackers.  BBC News has a short piece available that looks at a recently rediscovered site in southern India that is not only a petroglyph site, but was a gathering place, they think, for shamans and others to gather to make music.  With rocks.

The piece is titled “Ancient Indians made ‘rock music’.”  I wonder if the archaeologists have considered that the site just may be an early form of a men’s drumming gathering.
