Archaeoacoustics 2017 - Third International conference on the Archaeology of Sound

ARCHAEOACOUSTICS I in 2014 was a pioneering event that opened a door for study. The second conference in Istanbul introduced more ways of interpreting the “soundtrack of the past”. Now we move forward armed with the beginnings of a methodology informed by diverse expertise.
Our goal for ARCHAEOACOUSTICS III is to carry onward the insightful advantage of this multidisciplinary approach.
> Let’s continue to explore the world’s ancient shrines and sacred spaces to identify any patterns.
> Let’s examine all aspects of ancient traditions of the use of sound and stone to evoke an altered state of consciousness.
> Let’s see how all this directly relates to the design of contemplative architecture and potential applications for today.
