AB Membranophones or drums have traditionally been thought to be among the earliest musicalinstruments, even though traces of drumskins or wooden frames or bowls are missing from thearchaeological record. On the other hand, there are a large number of  nds from the Palaeolithicand Mesolithic eras that have not yet been convincingly interpreted, and which could beconnected with drumming. Starting from historical and ethnographic perspectives, this articlepresents a selection of prehistoric antler artefacts and discusses their suitability as drumbeaters.Artefacts from European archaeological collections are examined and compared with antlerartefacts that the Sámi and Siberian shamans from the 11th–20th centuries AD used for beatingtheir drums.
