Preserving Human Perspectives in Cultural Heritage Acoustics: Distance Cues and Proxemics in Aural Heritage Fieldwork

Miriam A. Kolar et al.

Summary: This study examines the practical implications of aural heritage and reports on acoustical data collection strategies in three contrasting heritage sites. The accurate translation of human sensory perspectives is crucial for cultural heritage fieldwork, and this research proposes selecting source-receiver locations in aural heritage measurements to represent a comprehensive range of proxemics. Prioritizing culturally and physically plausible human auditory/sound-sensing perspectives, this research relates auditory distance cues to spatial proxemics as scaled architecturally.
