ERC Artsoundscapes project – Acoustic measurements in the White River Narrows Archaeological District (Nevada, USA)

Data collected in the framework of the ERC project “Artsoundscapes, the sound of special places: exploring rock art soundscapes and the sacred” (acronym: Artsoundscapes, Grant Agreement No. 787842, PI ICREA Research Professor Margarita Díaz-Andreu). The project focuses on the relationship between archaeoacoustics and rock art. This dataset collects the acoustic measurements taken in the White River Narrows (WRN) Archaeological District, Basin and Range National Monument, Lincoln County, Nevada, USA, specifically at the rock writing location known as Northern Site, coded as NV State Site number 26LN211. It includes a set of audio files that are the omnidirectional and first order impulse responses gathered at the different source receiver combinations. Fieldwork was conducted in April 2024, by Margarita Díaz-Andreu, Diego Moreno-Iglesias and Daniel Benitez Aragón, with remote support by Lidia Alvarez Morales, and archaeological supervision by Dr. Johannes Loubser of Stratum Unlimited.
