If this is from Southern Vietnam, it is likely not a Viet relic, more like Indian or Polynesian.

I can't believe how slow the pace of archaeological publication is... They were excavated 25 years ago, reanalysed in 2012 and 2016, and those findings took 7–11 years to be published.

It's just so sad at how little a single archeologist can do in their careers, and like everyone they only get one life. Added onto that the dwindling number of jobs in the field... How is archeology going to survive if it takes a decade to get "yeah this deer antler is an instrument" published?

20 generations? Buddy you are failing at basic math.

The instrument in the OP is of historical interest relating to a particular culture. Instruments from halfway around the world have little to do with it.

Most museums have thousands or even hundreds of thousands of artifacts and only a handful of people looking after them and researching them. Unless someone get intrigued by one particular object it could sit unstudied for decades or centuries.

I honestly don’t understand what this comment is supposed to mean, or how it relates to anything else you said.

But I see that you’ve added a ridiculous spelling mistake to your egregious math error. And I’m supposed to believe that the guy who can’t divide or spell is some expert on the historical value of preserved artifacts?

Am I supposed to be outraged? They're made out of deer antlers.

Its not free, cost a lot. Why? dont know, the publishers ask for a lot of money even on digital journals.

The people who make peer review dont get any money for that review.

So who know why is so expensive? greedy.
