  • Mapping the Layers of Life

    Mapping the Layers of Life

    Bulgaria has several little known archaeological sites that potentially hold the answers to key questions about the foundation of western civilisation. Dr Shawn Ross of UNSW’s Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences led a field trip for the Tundzha Regional Archaelogical Project. With a group of students accompanying him, Mapping the Layers of Life is great example of the research/teaching nexus in action. More info on this project, including the revolutionary digital processes used to share and analyse data: http://humanities.arts.unsw.edu.au/news-and-events/archaeology-goes-digital-1…

    Ancient Acoustics

    Classics Professor John Franklin makes music in a decidedly contemporary way: using a computer and the latest software tools. But the music he creates is anything but modern, originating more than 2,000 years ago in ancient Greece. Franklin calls himself a music archaeologist. His computer-based innovations, it turns out, are the best way to recreate a music that sounds hauntingly strange to modern ears. Search terms:antik akustikancient acousticslimstonتعريفه
