Several recent research projects, including the European Music Archaeology Project (2013-2018), have made significant progress in the study of music in Prehistory and Antiquity. The interdisciplinary requirements to address such disparate aspects as the technological study of archaeological musical instruments, their experimental reconstruction, their performance (necessary for acoustic and musical characterisation) and their socio-cultural contextualisation have demanded not only significant funding, but also the collaboration of scholars and specialists from all over the world. Despite the long history of the discipline, this work has made it possible to trace technological relationships, cultural borrowings and local innovations that lie at the roots of the various European musics.
