"This talk is the topical and spiritual successor to the ongoing narrative I have built in my Mesa Talks over the past two years. Beginning with 'Conserving Sonic Heritage,' I introduced the subject of archaeoacoustics, and the social and political importance of preventing impacts to the qualitative 'sound' of archaeological sites. Last year, I followed up with 'Sensory Archaeology,' in which I related the discipline's tense straddling of STEM and the Humanities as we reach for the proverbial holy grail of relating observations today to the subjective experiences of sound, color, and embodiment in the past. Building on these discussions, I now move the conversation forward into using virtual heritage management (virtual reality depictions of archaeological evidence and interpretations) as a tool for cognitive archaeology (the systematic study of past minds). This immersive, mind-expanding multimedia presentation explores both the interpretive and scientific potential of 21st Century media for archaeological practice and theory - in short, melding mind and machine." -- C.L.
