[[Archaeoacoustics]], also known as the archaeology of sound, is one of the only ways to experience the past with senses other than our eyes.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.dailygrail.com/2016/01/archaeoacoustics-listening-to-the-sounds-of-history/|title=Archaeoacoustics: Listening to the Sounds of History|last=Clemens|first=Martin J.|date=2016-01-31|website=The Daily Grail|language=en-AU|access-date=2019-04-13|archive-date=2019-04-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190413223442/https://www.dailygrail.com/2016/01/archaeoacoustics-listening-to-the-sounds-of-history/|url-status=live}}</ref> Archaeoacoustics is studied by testing the acoustic properties of prehistoric sites, including caves. Iegor Rezkinoff, a sound archaeologist, studies the acoustic properties of caves through natural sounds like humming and whistling.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/archaeoacoustics|title=With Archaeoacoustics, Researchers Listen for Clues to the Prehistoric Past|last=Jacobs|first=Emma|date=2017-04-13|website=Atlas Obscura|language=en|access-date=2019-04-13|archive-date=2019-04-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190413221942/https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/archaeoacoustics|url-status=live}}</ref> Archaeological theories of acoustics are focused around ritualistic purposes as well as a way of echolocation in the caves. In archaeology, acoustic sounds and rituals directly correlate as specific sounds were meant to bring ritual participants closer to a spiritual awakening.<ref name=":0" /> Parallels can also be drawn between cave wall paintings and the acoustic properties of the cave; they are both dynamic.<ref name=":1" /> Because archaeoacoustics is a fairly new archaeological subject, acoustic sound is still being tested in these prehistoric sites today.
