Archaeoacoustics Conference
ARCHAEOACOUSTICS: The Archaeology of Sound
INTERNATIONAL MULTI-DISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE 19-22 February 2014 on the Mediterranean Island of Malta
An exciting international multi-disciplinary event that welcomes academics, researchers, musicologists and non-presenting enthusiasts. Anyone can attend. Anticipated presentations include performance, discoveries, observations and science from around the world — all focused on the Archaeology of Sound.
Our goal during this event is to pull together information and experience from a wide range of sources, seeking a thread that identifies the most fundamental application of the human experience of hearing. We are particularly interested in the role acoustic behavior may have had in the development and design of important architecture and ritual spaces throughout the ancient world, and its possible biological impact on human brain activity
Hosted by the Corinthia Palace Hotel in Malta and organized by the U.S. based OTS Foundation, the Archaeoacoustics event is already stirring up excitement with its first submissions. Researchers from Australia, Chile, Iran and all over Europe are proposing presentations that imply that there is more to this scenario than anyone imagined. They may be unlocking something big, and it underscores the value of a multidisciplinary event that puts these people in the same room to share experiences, methodology and observations.
On hand will be the Senior Lecturer in Music Technology at the University of Huddersfield and author of ‘Songs of the stones: the Acoustics of Stonehenge’, Dr. Rupert Till; Senior Curator for UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Malta, Dr. Reuben Grima; and the Head of the Department of Classics and Archaeology at the University of Malta, Dr. Nicholas Vella.
All presentations will be in English. Registration is required. Call for Papers is now open.

Free literature and registration form on request. The OTS Foundation, P.O. Box 17166, Sarasota, FL 34276 USA ~ 941 918 9215 ~ Conference2014@OTSF.org
Magic of Ice Age Cave Comes to Chicago
There are ways in which modern technology can serve the most ancient landscapes of myth and art. A prime example is a special exhibit currently showing at the Field Museum in Chicago: Scenes from the Stone Age: The Cave Paintings of Lascaux. Interior rooms of the magnificent Lascaux cave are reproduced to provide a simulated experience of the art of our ancient ancestors. The Field web site invites us to
Walk through exact cave replicas by flickering light, marveling at full-size copies of the paintings—including some never before seen by the public—and see them through the eyes of ancient artists. Deconstruct the paintings’ many layers of complexities, meet a lifelike Stone Age family, and discover why the true meaning and purpose of the caves remain a mystery even today.
The exhibit runs from March 20-September 8, 2013.
