This Symposium, with the aim of sharing knowledge, intends to gather researchers from different disciplines such as archaeology, acoustics, ethnomusicology, archaeoacoustics, neuroscience, anthropology and psychology, among others. For example, we are interested in presentations concerning the origins of music, the acoustics of ancient monuments, musicarchaeology, the effects of specific sounds on the human brain, and representations of music or dancing scenes in the arts of several chronological periods, besides other possible approaches regarding the use of sound in past human contexts.

 

Accepted presentations will be published in the proceedings of the Symposium.

 

There will be a parallel activity, consisting in an exhibition of contemporary art, open to interested participants, inspired in the theme Art & Sounds, Sounds in Art.
