Exploring ancient sounds and places: The challenges of hearing intangible heritage in the past

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
This introductory chapter explores the diverse ways in which sound can be integrated 
into archaeology. Three major perspectives are presented: the first focuses on objects 
that produce sound, including musical instruments, sound-producing objects, and 
geophonies in natural soundscapes. The second block examines the contexts in which 
sound is transmitted and heard, such as enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces, urban 
environments, and landscapes. The final section investigates the functions and uses 
of sound. Examples of all three ways of studying sound in archaeology are found 
in the chapters of this book. This interdisciplinary volume presents a collection of 
essays that illuminate the sonorous dimensions of the past, highlighting how sound 
has influenced cognitive, cultural and spiritual aspects of human societies across 
different periods and locations. A general overview of the book is provided in the 
last section of the chapter.
