Archaeoacoustics studies historical sound, merging archaeology, anthropology, and psychology to reveal insights about ancient music and acoustic environments. Exploring Ancient Sounds and Places: Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to Archaeoacoustics brings together scholars from diverse academic fields including archaeology, anthropology, architecture, classics, history, art history and sound engineering to shed light on the role of sound and acoustics in the cultural practices of past societies from various chronologies and locations around the world. This innovative volume covers a broad spectrum of topics, such as the genesis of archaeological investigations into sound, the emergence of speech and song in early humans, the cognitive effects of music in ritualistic contexts, the acoustic dimensions of rock art sites, and the emotional responses elicited by sonorous activities experienced in these decorated spaces. Additionally, the book delves into the study of prehistoric musical instruments, the use of ethnohistorical sources in archaeoacoustic research, the analysis of sound imagery in medieval frescoes, and explores historical approaches to the study of specific acoustic parameters and the sonic properties of urban environments. Each chapter not only aggregates a wealth of academic perspectives but also bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and the most advanced methods used in this field of research. Case studies from all over the world illustrate the different ways in which ancient communities perceived and engaged with sound and the acoustics of the landscapes in which they were immersed. Exploring Ancient Sounds and Places is an essential resource for scholars and students interested in archaeoacoustics and how sound has shaped the cognitive, cultural and spiritual facets of human societies across time and space.

Sound matters. The New Testament's first audiences were listeners, not readers. They heard its compositions read aloud and understood their messages as linear streams of sound. To understand the New Testament's meaning in the way its earliest audiences did, we must hear its audible features and understand its words as spoken sounds. Sound Matters presents essays by ten scholars from five countries and three continents, who explore the New Testament through sound mapping, a technique invented by Margaret Lee and Bernard Scott for analyzing Greek texts as speech. Sound Matters demonstrates the value and uses of this technique as a prelude and aid to interpretation. The essays that make up this volume illustrate the wide range of interpretive possibilities that emerge when sound mapping restores the spoken sounds of the New Testament and revives its living voice.

""Sacred Echoes"" explores the largely unexamined role of sound and acoustics in ancient religions, focusing on how auditory experiences shaped spiritual beliefs and practices. The book posits that sound was not merely an addition to rituals but a fundamental component in forging spiritual connections. For example, manipulating acoustics within sacred architecture allowed religious authorities to create awe-inspiring experiences and even induce altered states of consciousness, thereby solidifying their influence. The book uses evidence from archaeoacoustics, textual analysis, and cognitive neuroscience to reveal how ancient civilizations, including those of Greece, Egypt, and Mesopotamia, integrated sound into their religious systems. It considers the architectural acoustics of temples and the use of chanting and music in rituals. By presenting a holistic view that integrates archaeological data with scientific insights, ""Sacred Echoes"" offers a unique perspective on the auditory dimensions of religious experiences, often overlooked in traditional studies. The book progresses from introducing archaeoacoustics to examining specific cultural case studies, culminating in a discussion of sound's enduring impact on religious experience. By combining historical context with scientific analysis, the book invites readers to consider the profound influence of sound in shaping human belief and experience.
