Archaeoacoustics

Buch

Archaeoacoustics focuses on the role of sound in human behavior. Recent calls for an 'archaeology of the senses' have served as a timely, even overdue reminder that the past which we experience is multi-sensory, drawing not only upon the primary field of vision, but also on touch, smell and hearing. The present volume brings together archaeologists and specialists in early musical instruments and acoustics in an attempt to unlock some of the meaning latent in the acoustics of such early structures and spaces as megalithic tombs, Palaeolithic painted caves, Romanesque churches and prehistoric rock shelters.

Über den Autor

Chris Scarre is Professor of Archaeology at the University of Durham and a specialist in the later prehistory of western Europe. His research interests include the relationship of prehistoric monuments to their landscape setting and the use of colour and sound in prehistoric societies. Recent publications include Monuments and Landscape in Atlantic Europe (ed) (2002) and The Human Past (ed) (2005). Dr Graeme Lawson has played a leading role in the developing archaeology of acoustical behaviours, focussing especially on the nature and origins of music tradition and on experiment as a means of evaluating ancient acoustic structures.
