Date: 2 September 2025<\/p>\n

Music and sound played a vital role in the past, but this soundscape has been lost because sound is intangible. Therefore, reconstruction of the past life ways without reconstructing the soundscape of the past incomplete. The effects of sound sometimes influence how people make certain decisions and if not properly assessed this aspect can be easily missed or go unnoticed in the reconstruction of the past. Acoustics studies has fairly received attention from various researchers working on different themes and time periods. This session invites abstracts from all researchers who are working on the effects of sound from the past focusing on the various time periods and using various research methods. The objective of this session is to bring together researchers who are investigating the effects of sound in the past as well as investigating the musical instruments or sound producing artefacts from the past and their possible effects in entertainment and rituals settings. This session seeks to start a discussion on the various approaches which are being used to reconstruct the effects of sound among the past communities and perhaps steer new approaches and new debates with regards to the theoretical and methodological approaches used in archaeoacoustics studies.<\/p>\n

C\u00e9sar Villalobos Acosta is an archaeologist working at the UNAM university, Mexico City. He holds a PhD in Archaeology by Durham University, United Kingdom (2011). He has a Master\u2019s of Anthropology by the UNAM\/FFyL-IIA (2004) and a BA degree by ENAH (the Mexican National School of Anthropology and History) (2001). His main area of research is the archaeology of The\u00a0Sonoran\u00a0Desert about which he has written many articles and books. He is currently developing a project on climate change and cultural dynamics in the coast of The\u00a0Sonoran\u00a0Desert (Gulf of California), on the basis of data obtained in fieldwork. In addition to the study of material culture, he is interested in contemporary interpretive theories, such as materiality,\u00a0multivocality,\u00a0and archaeoacoustics. He is also interested in the context of archaeology with topics such as tourism, nationalism and the use of rock art in the construction of identities.\u00a0Since\u00a02012, he has\u00a0been\u00a0a researcher at\u00a0the\u00a0Instituto de Investigaciones Antropol\u00f3gicas at the Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico (UNAM).\u00a0He was responsible for designing\u00a0the first ever BA Program in Anthropology at the UNAM and he currently serves as Program Coordinator at the\u00a0Facultad\u00a0de\u00a0Ciencias\u00a0Pol\u00edticas\u00a0y\u00a0Sociales.<\/p>\r\n
