		Ethnographic Analogy is the study of possible parallels between an ancient culture and a living culture; in this case, in reference to the use and function of musical instruments.
		He concludes that these musical instruments demonstrate that the ancient Tairona had a great concern for exterior details of their musical effigy figurines, but that the concept of a standardized scale was apparently not important to this particular culture.
		Olsen believes that many wind instruments of pre-Columbian native Americans were used in connection with supernatural power, and examples of this theme are woven throughout the book.
