About

Sensory archaeology is a research field within archaeology dedicated to investigating past human experience and interaction with the material world through the analysis of sensory modalities beyond the visual. It seeks to reconstruct and understand the sensory landscapes and embodied experiences of past societies, focusing on senses such as smell, sound, and touch as integral aspects of lived life. This approach employs interdisciplinary methods to examine how sensory perception shaped human behaviour, social practices, and engagement with environments and objects, thereby offering a more nuanced and holistic understanding of past life.
