Listeros,

150,000 Olmec stone whistles have recently been found at the Olmec  
site of San Lorenzo. They are made of black ilmenite.

Erik Boot has posted the extensive report from the Instituto Nacional  
de Antropología e Historia (in Spanish) at his Mesoamerica News site  
here;

He has also provided a very complete report from Roberto Velazquez  
Cabrera on these Olmec stone whistles published in 2001 and edited  
again in 2004 with a sound file here;
