ARCHAEOACOUSTICS II

The Second International Multi-disciplinary Conference on The Archaeology of Sound will take place in Istanbul, Turkey on 30 OCT, 31 OCT, 01 NOV 2015

Presentations from researchers, scholars and technologists working across diverse disciplines, sites and practices will focus on the ancient use of sound in sacred and contemplative spaces. With specialists collecting multi-disciplinary input on the spot, the working conference becomes inspirational bedrock for new thought. "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 brain activity," say organizers from The OTS Foundation. Presentations from fields such as archaeology, social anthropology, physics, neuroscience, architectural engineering, are expected to lead toward creating a new methodology for interpretation.

The non-profit conference welcomes academics, independent researchers, musicologists and non-presenting enthusiasts. An optional post-conference excursion to visit the 12,000 year old monumental remains of Göbekli Tepe will be organized. Proposals for paper and poster presentations are now being considered.
