From thick description to autoethnography, a collection of some of the latest investigatory methodologies in sensory heritage work.
In recent years, archaeologists and other researchers dealing with heritage sites have increasingly emphasized the fact that people in the past interacted with their natural and built environment through all of their senses. In turn, they have come to acknowledge the limits of research methods that rely solely on visual analysis. Presenting studies of historical environments from multiple fields, from archaeology to acoustics, through the lens of the senses, New Sensory Approaches to the Past showcases the latest developments in sensory research through real-world scenarios of human-environment connections. Interdisciplinary examples of diverse sensory in-situ studies will enable readers to replicate and enhance their own investigations. Further, the volume pushes beyond historically Western frameworks of sensory perception towards a more global understanding of the senses.
