Lurs were 1500-500 BC and found in Nordic areas. Out of period but
shows that some knowledge may have continue.

Likely made of animal horn but the Lur(sp?) horn, a sousaphone like
trumpet from which period I cannot remember, I believe was bronze or
brass and mimicked Roman horns.

So what kind of horn are we talking? A "war" type horn, brass, shofar?
I'm familiar with a "herald trumpet" which probably isn't very period.
