Do please forward as appropriateThe Archaeology of Sound and MusicEditor: John SchofieldDeadline: Papers cannot be accepted if they appear after 31 October 2013
Typically, archaeological studies explore what the past was like and how humans have interacted with their landscape. As archaeologists, we learn about artefacts, buildings and monuments, homes and families; how people responded to such things as conflict, death and climatic change. But recently we have become more ambitious and more experiential in our approach. We are learning to consider and interpret the past using all of our senses; and visitors to heritage sites are now often encouraged to do the same. We use evidence now to try to understand how the past smelt, and what particular foodstuffs tasted like. This collection of essays concerns the sound of the past, and its significance within current archaeological and heritage practices? Specific questions might address archaeologies of music and music-making. How important have music and sound been to people in the past, and what methods can we use to question this? To what extent have archaeological and historic sites influenced the production of music, or been designed and built for their acoustic properties? What is the material culture of music making, and how has this changed over millennia? It is the intention of this volume to question all of these and other connections between archaeology, music and sound, to the extent of also exploring whether the creative processes themselves correspond. Do archaeologists make good musicians, even, or musicians good archaeologists?With thanks.J
