The bone flute with three finger holes dates back to the second
century A.D. and was found in excavations in Flavia Solva. It is
preserved in the Joanneum Museum in Graz.

The sonagram clearly shows the fundamental (green) and the
first four overtones (orange). The curve above shows the sound wave of
one channel (mono recording). The red curve on the side demonstrates
the waves for the time that is marked by the eprouvettes.

The third illustration represents the sound spectrum of the
wave's progress. At first, the fundamental and the four overtones can
be clearly recognized. The other highpoints only represent the sounds that
are caused by beginning to blow into the instrument. As the tone dies
out, the overtones disappear one after the other. (E. Stadler)
