0043 - Archaeoacoustics at Perdigões


Next Tuesday we will be visiting Perdigões to discuss the possibility of developing a new sub-project (integrated in the Global Program of Archaeological Research of Perdigões run by Era) dedicated to archaeoacoustics. If visibility was already established as an important variable for the location of the site and to what was happening there, so possibly was acoustics. Remember that the site is in a natural theater that has specific sound conditions.

With us will be Portuguese people with long experience in sound design and acoustics (Carlos A. Augusto) and with experience in acoustics applied to heritage in UK (Tiago Queiróz), and two researchers from the University of Barcelona responsible for a European Research Council project on archaeoacoustics: Margarita Díaz-Andreu and Tommaso Mattioli, leaders of the project Artsoundscapes.

There is few or no work at all regarding the variable sound in Portuguese archaeology. At Perdigões, we will try to contribute to change that, with the possibility to extend the project to other sites with similar heuristic potential to this approach to Prehistory, like Fraga da Pena in Beira Alta.
