** The Music and Science list is managed by the Institute of Musical Research (www.music.sas.ac.uk) as a bulletin board and discussion forum for researchers working at the shared boundaries of science and music. **
MESSAGE FOLLOWS:
The Acoustics and Music of British Prehistory is an interdisciplinary research cluster funded by the AHRC/EPSRC as part of the Science and Heritage programme. It aims to explore the intersections of music, archaeology, sound, acoustics, heritage, culture, modelling, VR, anthropology, ritual and other related topics, focusing on prehistory and British sites. It focuses (although not exclusively) on three main types of sites, open sites (such as landscapes or henges), semi-enclosed sites (such as stone circles) and enclosed sites (such as chamber tombs). Bringing together leading researchers in the field, the first public symposium is free and held in Cambridge. It aims to encourage listening as well as looking, and to explore this fascinating subject with rigour and depth.
