Archaeoacoustics

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.Scarre, Chris is the author of 'Archaeoacoustics' with ISBN 9781902937359 and ISBN 190293735X.
