The recent resurgence of academic interest in caves has
demonstrated the central roles they played as arenas for ritual,
ceremony and performance, and their importance within later
prehistoric cosmologies. Caves represent very particular types of
archaeological site and require novel approaches to their
recording, interpretation and presentation. This is especially true
in understanding the ritual use of caves, when the less tangible
aspects of these environments would have been fundamental to the
practices taking place within them. Between Worlds explores new
theoretical frameworks that examine the agency of these enduring
'natural' places and the complex interplay between environment,
taphonomy and human activity. It also showcases the application of
innovative technologies, such as 3D laser-scanning and acoustic
modelling, which provide new and exciting ways of capturing the
experiential qualities of these enigmatic sites. Together, these
developments offer more nuanced understandings of the role of caves
in prehistoric ritual, and allow for more effective communication,
management and presentation of cave archaeology to a wide range of
audiences.
