WORK PROGRAMME
The project is structured into complementary, interdisciplinary work programmes. By combining advanced digital technologies with rigorous historical analysis, these modules comprehensively reconstruct and preserve ancient sonic heritage.
WP1 - Fieldwork
This package maps ancient performance spaces using 3D and GIS technologies, providing the foundational architectural data for acoustic analyses.
More Details
WP2 - Acoustic Space Analysis
Assessing acoustics via field impulse responses and 3D models, this module explores ancient spatial sound propagation.
More Details
WP3 - Analysis of Written Records and Archaeological Evidence
Analysing ancient textual and visual sources, this module contextualises the cultural role of sound in ritual events.
More Details
WP4 - Survey on Sonic Environment
Mapping natural and human sounds, this module evaluates how ancient communities shaped environments for aural experiences.
More Details
WP5 - Immersive Audible Spaces
Integrating virtual acoustics into 3D models, this module creates platforms to disseminate ancient sonic heritage.
