The 2\13-based heptatonic has been named '''archeotonic''' after the "Old Ones" that rule the Dreamlands. Modes of the archeotonic are named after the individual Old Ones.

A 7-nominal notation is proposed, using the letters A-G. The "C natural" scale is proposed to be degrees 0-2-4-6-8-10-12-(13), with the note "C" tuned to a reference pitch of concert middle C. The modes are laid out in the following table, excerpted from an unfinished paper on 13-edo.

Treating 13edo as a temperament as proposed above leads to a chord of degrees 0-2-4-6-9 representing the JI harmony 8:9:10:11:13; two such pentads exist in this scale, on E and F. Smaller harmonic units exist as follows: 8:9:10:11 on C, D, E, and F; 8:9:10:13 on E, F and G; 8:9:10 on C, D, E, F, and G; 8:9:11 on C, D, E, and F; 8:9:13 on E, F, G, and A. Finally, on B we have the relatively-discordant 16:17:21:26 (0-1-5-9, or the notes B-C-E-G), which can be octave-inverted into a more concordant 8:13:17:21.
