Current research includes collaborative aural heritage fieldwork, co-creative archaeo-ethnomusicological performance studies of the ChavĂn pututus, computational acoustical modeling, and auralization demonstrations of site and instrument acoustics.
In 2013, Project Director and Principal Investigator Miriam A. Kolar published her dissertation Archaeological Psychoacoustics at Chavín de Huántar, Perú, which explores the relevance and study of human auditory perception in archaeology, via the case study of auditory localization experiments conducted on site.
