Ann Buckley (ed.), Hearing the Past: Essays in Historical Ethnomusicology
and the Archaeology of Sound, Études et Recherches Archéologiques de
l'Université de Liège 86 (Liège. 2000).
"These essays represent one set of explorations concerning the role of
music and humanly-organised sound in long-term human history. They
demonstrate the riches of interdisciplinary collaboration, of
cross-cultural surveys which are also cross-temporal, and of the value of
this subject in elucidating any number of questions concerning social
processes and mentalities based on a wide range of evidential types. They
are offered as a collection of ideas and observations which will hopefully
be tested and further developed in the future, not just with respect to
prehistory and the Ancient world, but in any processual investigation of
music and human behaviour" (extract from Introduction, by Ann Buckley).
