[Aztlan] Chavín de Huántar Archaeological Acoustics Project

[Wayne Van Kirk]

"Since 1995, Dr. Rick and his teams have conducted field work
at Chavín, uncovering architectural features and artifacts, many of
which relate to sound and acoustics. Their 2001 discovery of twenty
engraved Strombus galeatus shell trumpets, intact but with extensive use-wear, provides recent and compelling evidence
for a sonic dimension to ritual practice, supporting the idea that the
acoustic properties of the site had functional importance."
