Archaeologists have found bullroarers from Palaeolithic times and onwards in Europe, their existence in ancient Greece is documented, there are ethnographic and ethnological records relating to bullroarers, information on bullroarers can be found in medieval texts, and bullroarers are still used in our modern societies today.
