Flower World – Mundo Florido
Music Archaeology of the Americas - Arqueomusicologia de las Americas
Edited by Matthias Stockli Edited by Mark Howell General editor Arnd Adje Both
The bilingual series Flower World – Music Archaeology of the Americas raises the study of ancient music and music-related activities of the pre-Columbian Americas to the next level. For the first time in the history of science, a series offering anthologies featuring scientific investigations in this fascinating multidisciplinary field is available. The series encompasses peer-reviewed studies by renowned scholars on both past and living music traditions from South, Central and North America, and thus constitute a platform for the most up-to-date information on the music archaeology of the continent. It features case studies and the results of research projects in the field, in which a great variety of music-archaeological approaches, such as conventional archaeology – for the interpretation of the find contexts, experimental archaeology – for reconstructive instrument making and playing, ethnohistory and ethnolinguistics – for the interpretation of textual sources, music iconology – for the interpretation if visual sources, organology and acoustics, and ethnomusicology – for the research on contemporary legacies – for the study of the instrument finds, are commonly applied. The title of the series, Flower World, refers to a mythological, even sacred place filled with the sweet scent of flowers, bird calls, pleasant sounds, and dance. It is a place full of happiness and joy, even if it belongs to the realm of the Dead, which sustains the enduring renewal of life on earth.
