A reading of my poem on the prehistoric painted caves of France and Spain, "Chauvet, Lascaux, Altamira," from the book Bone Antler Stone. You can buy the book here, and read reviews and essays about the book here. My favorite books on these caves are listed below. For some reason, many of them are hard to find or by now are inordinately expensive. The best general introductions to prehistoric art that are affordable include Prehistoric Art: The Symbolic Journey of Humankind, by Randall White, and Paul Bahn's Cambridge Illustrated History of Prehistoric Art. If you can find the following at your library, they are well worth a look: Lascaux: Movement, Space and Time, by Norbert Aujoulat The Cave of Altamira, edited by Pedro A. Saura Ramos Return to Chauvet, by Jean Clottes Becoming Human: Innovation in Prehistoric Material Culture, edited by Colin Renfrew and Iain Morley. Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make in later episodes, can be emailed to humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com. I assume that the small amount of work presented in each episode constitutes fair use. Publishers, authors, or other copyright holders who would prefer to not have their work presented here can also email me at humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com, and I will remove the episode immediately.

Ancient history was not silent, so why is our study of it? The oldest-known musical instruments – bone flutes found in southern Germany – date back a little over 40,000 years. But how long humans have been making music in one form or another is a matter of great speculation. What did ‘music’ mean in the context of our Palaeolithic and Neolithic forebears? And, how did the human voice, archaeological artefacts and ancient sites themselves affect the sounds of their world. Travelling from Stonehenge and West Kennet in the United Kingdom to Cueva de la Pileta in Spain and on to Little Black Mountain in the United States, archaeologist and musician Miriam Cooke, witnesses how the techniques of archaeoacoustics – the study of sound in archaeological contexts – can help connect us to the past. She attempts to recover the soundtrack of our ancestors and then write a song about it. Contributors include professor Rupert Till from the University of Huddersfield, sound artist Oliver Beer, psychoacoustician Chris Kyriakakis, Native American cultural historians Ernest Siva and Walter Holmes, Prehistory of Music author Iain Morley, and Steven J Waller, who researches the links between rock art and the sound of the spaces they inhabit.

Hör hur några musikarkeologer gräver ner sig i forntidens musik genom att titta på fornlämningar och andra källor. Musikarkeologi är ett nytt och fortfarande litet forskningsområde med få men passionerade forskare som försöker förstå vilka ljud och musik som omgav människor förr. Ett av de större projekten på området är det femåriga projektet European music archeology project, EMAP, som involverar sju EU-länder och pågår till och med nästa år. Det har resulterat i vandringsutställningen "Archæomusica" som med den svenska underrubriken "Musik - så började det" hade världspremiär på Ystad kloster den 6 juni 2016. I programmet medverkar Cajsa S. Lund vars intresse för både arkeologi och musik har resulterat i att hon blivit musikarkeolog, professor Iain Morley vid Oxford University, tonsättaren John Purser och EMAP-grundaren Emiliano Li Castro. En P2-dokumentär av Dawn Anthony.
