Abstract

The  presumed  or  probably  palaeolithic  “flutes”  of  Divjebabe  I  and  Istállóskő  caves,  with  other  “possible  flutes”  arediscussed on an objective basis. Refutation of the absolutelysure affirmations of the opposing party. Errors and tendentioustables are pointed out. There are only probabilities and subjectiveconvictions  in  this  field  and  archaeology  must  cohabit  withdreams
