This open-access book surveys how digital technology can contribute
effectively to improving our understanding of the past, through a
sensory engagement based on the evidence of material culture. In
particular, it encourages specialists to consider senses and human
agency as important factors in studying ancient space, while
recognising the role played by digital tools in enhancing a
human-centred form of analysis. Significant advances in
archaeological computing, digital methods, and sensory approaches
have led archaeologists to rethink strategies and methods for
creating narratives of the past. Recent progress in data
visualisation and implementation, as well as other nascent digital
sensory methods, means that it is now easier to explore and
experience ancient space from a multiscalar perspective, from the
individual body or single building to the wider landscape. The
chapters in Capturing the Senses: Digital Methods for Sensory
Archaeologies present innovative methods for representing an
embodied experience of ancient space, simulating (but not
recreating) ancient behaviours and social interaction. Chapters
cover topics including the potentials and pitfalls of visualising,
recreating, and re-enacting/experiencing the senses in Virtual
Reality environments and also digital reconstructions and
auralisations of ancient spaces to study sound sensory perception.
Overall, the book demonstrates that multisensory approaches can
give a new perspective on how ancient spaces were intended to be
used by inhabitants to fulfil a series of purposes including
conveying messages and regulating movement. This is an
open-access book.
