The authors present in the contribution a revolutionary technique for making holes in bones to date unknown. They take this opportunity to summarise the whole debate about the Mousterian flute from Divje babe I and conclude that a presumption of an artificial creation of the holes in the Mousterian flute is more likely than any other presumption.

The presumed or probably palaeolithic "flutes" of Divje babe I and Istállósko{combining double acute accent} caves, with other "possible flutes" are discussed on an objective basis. Refutation of the absolutely sure affirmations of the opposing party. Errors and tendentious tables are pointed out. There are only probabilities and subjective convictions in this field and archaeology must cohabit with dreams.
... Among them, d'Errico was the only one who micro-scoped the find and explained the findings of the microscopy in accordance with his previous estimate [12], published in Antiquity in 1998 [17][18][19]. I. Turk with colleagues [10,[20][21][22][23][24][25] (see also [26]) continuously argumentatively claimed that some of their statements, regarding their explanations about the origin of the holes and damages on the perforated bone, are incorrect [13,14,16,[27][28][29]. To obtain more accurate explanation of the find, I. Turk and colleagues performed and published a series of experiments on perforating fresh brown bear femur diaphyses, using models of wolf, hyena, and bear dentitions (Figure 2), as well as replicas of Palaeolithic tools that were present in various Mousterian levels in DB [20,21,30,31]. ...

... The flute is not only the oldest in existence (50,000e60,000 BP) but also the only example found from the Mousterian period so far. For this reason, it has not been definitely accepted as an artifact, but according to several recent experiments (Horusitzky, 2003;Turk et al., 2005bTurk et al., , 2006Turk, in press;http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v¼sHy9FOblt7Y), there should be no doubt it was made by humans (Neanderthals). ...

... An imprecise number of perforated pipes of bone, or even ivory -the initial catalogue of remains has increased significantly (García Benito, 2014), but not everybody agrees about the true nature of some of the evidence. Natural processes can modify the appearance of bones, coming to generate perforations that can be misinterpreted and attributed to the manufacturing process of one of these instruments-,that traditionally have been regarded as flutes have been recovered in European Upper Palaeolithic sites (Buisson, 1990;Münzel et al., 2002;Horusitzky, 2004;or Conard et al., 2009, among others). One of these sites is Isturitz (Saint Martin d'Arberoue, France) that has provided the largest body of evidence of this kind, and one of the most whole objects, designated as 1914 F3α75252/A3-Ist.III83888 1939. ...
