Soundscape Presentation of Unexcavated Archaeological Sites

Many important archaeological sites in Croatia are neglected and they are not presented to the visitors. We argue that the soundscape approach offers the possibility for attractive and non- invasive presentation. The model for sustainable soundscape presentation of archaeological sites is proposed. This research is conducted in order to: 1. contribute to the development of the theoretical model for reconstruction/ presentation of ancient urban soundscapes in situ. 2. investigate its possible application as a tool for presentation of unexcavated archaeological sites 3. enhance the method for presentation and interpretation of archaeological sites through their integration in contemporary town and tourism as the new element within heritage tourism. The theoretical model is investigated on the archaeological site of the ancient Greek town of Issa, located at the island of Vis in the Adriatic Sea, Croatia. The proposed model includes the assessment of historical, archaeological, spatial, urban planning, landscape and soundscape factors and determining the key soundscape elements for the presentation. The possible means of the presentation and interpretation are considered in relation to the results of the soundscape analyses and recognised key elements.
