Neolithic Drum Sculpture Declared ‘Most Important Piece of Prehistoric Art’

Archaeologists unearthed a highly unusual 5,000-year-old carved drum ‘sculpture’ made from stone during excavations near the village of Burton Agnes in Yorkshire in northern England. The object was discovered at the site of an old estate in the Yorkshire countryside in 2015, and experts have spent the last few years studying this unique item. They’ve called it one of the most significant examples of prehistoric art ever found on British soil.

The initial stages of construction at Stonehenge were completed approximately 5,000 years ago, and the remarkable carved drum has been dated to that same time period.

While the shape of the small, compact, barrel-shaped object is undeniable, the chalk drum was not actually used as a musical instrument . It must instead be classified as a type of Neolithic stone sculpture, and a most rare one indeed.
