Archaeoacoustics: Suggestions for a methodological framework.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010
We attempt to present a unified approach to archaeoacustics: its basic questions and methods, as well as the interaction of the several disciplines involved in this subject (archaeology, physics, engineering, mathematics, musicology, etc.) focusing on the role of the contribution of each of them.

Archaeoacoustics of Mexico City's cathedral

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017
We consider the acoustics of the architectural design of Mexico City's Cathedral. Using measurements of the impulse response of the building and a virtual reconstruction of the architectural space, the reconstruction of the soundscape is developed with statistical and geometric methods and a standard computational platform (EASE).

Sounds of Etruria: aural characteristics of the Tomba dell'Orco, Tarquinia

Antiquity, 2021
This article presents the results of an archaeoacoustic analysis conducted inside the three chambers of the fourth-century BC Etruscan painted tomb of Tomba dell'Orco at Tarquinia. Using digital sound samples and an acoustic recording protocol, the study

The Interdisciplinary Role of Archaeoacoustics and Its Applications

2022
In the last two decades, a new discipline called archaeoacoustics has begun to emerge seeking to use modern acoustic methodologies to understand and analyze historical artifacts from a new perspective. The interdisciplinary nature of this subject makes it a fertile ground for archaeologists, anthropologists, psychologists and acousticians.

Archaeoacoustics re-examined

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2007
Archaeoacoustics examines the acoustic properties of ancient artifacts, buildings and natural spaces in order to shed light on the past. In one such study by Jahn, Devereux, and Ibison [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 99, 649–658 (1996)] it was found that a number of ancient enclosures (principally neolithic burial chambers) exhibited similar resonance frequencies.

Acoustic Measurements and Digital Image Processing Suggest a Link Between Sound Rituals and Sacred Sites in Northern Finland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In northern Finland, near the canyon lakes of Julma-Ölkky, Somerjärvi and Rotkojärvi, steep rock cliffs produce distinctive acoustic spaces. On these cliffs, prehistoric rock paintings (5200 to 1000 BC) as well as an ancient Sámi offering site (circa ...

Archaeoacoustics: Testing and evaluation methodology

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017
Testing and measurement procedures of acoustic properties in caves, caverns, and buildings have been conducted along with EEG measurements in order to determine the effects of acoustic resonance on the human brain. The results have given rise to questions and speculative models concerning the role of acoustic phenomena in the development of human ...

Archaeoacoustics in archaeology

2017
Archaeoacoustics is an approach to analyze any archaeological sites that have interesting acoustic characteristics or natural physical phenomena affecting brain activity. It can be used to demonstrate for example sound occurrences incorporated into the design of the ancient structures by the architects.
