“A researcher at the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) hopes to gain an understanding of sounds heard thousands of years ago.
Michelle Walker’s investigation will involve a cave in Moray where human remains from the Late Bronze Age were previously found by archaeologists.
It is believed prehistoric people buried their dead in the cave in rituals involving beating a drum.
Ms Walker has proposed beating a drum in the same location.
The UHI graduate believes the acoustics of Sculptors Cave where the bodies were laid could have affected mourners’ mood....... ”
There's doubt about the LBA attribution and no evidence of any drums . Maybe there was a lot of shouting , ululating , singing , whistling or just silence ,that's always a problem for archaeoacoustics if there's no sound there's not much to talk about and no possibility of entrainment .
I like the sound of the sea, especially at night. I think that's all I would need to keep me happy had this been my place of rest.
Evidence points to quite a bit of violence being involved in some of the "burials " here , e.g. decapitation . Maybe the sound would be that of drumroll -crunch /squelch then one head landing then two ?handed clapping .
Mind you, if you take your guitar and I take my trumpet we could give the locals something to think about :-)
