Ethnohistorical sources in archaeoacoustics research: A case study from South-Central California

This article explores the use of ethnohistoric data for the understandings of the acoustic and sound-world of rock art sites. A discussion on the complexities of using ethnohistorical documents in the study of rock art and archaeoacoustics is made using Yokuts rock art as a case study. The analysis...

A discussion on the complexities of using ethnohistorical documents in the study of rock art and archaeoacoustics is made using Yokuts rock art as a case study. The analysis follows five lines of evidence: the placement of rock art, first, in sonorous landscapes and, second, in places with “special” acoustics; the representation of musical practices and sound-producing instruments; the evidence of musical instruments in the period under study and, finally, the production of rock art at or near lithophones.
