Abstract: One of the main problems faced by Music Archaeology is the identification, definition and classification of music in the archaeological record. Several scholars have tried to provide different solutions: Lund (1981), Coumont (2002) and d'Errico & Lawson (2006). Significantly, all suggest the need to use Experimental Archaeology for its empirical reconstruction. This paper proposes a methodology to reconstruct and experimentally replicate prehistoric aerophones made from hard animal material -bone, antler or shell- (but extensible to other types of musical instruments). The application of Experimental Archaeology will help solve many problems inherent to this field of study. An experimentally conscious program, with clear and rigorous objectives, will test hypotheses through experimental reconstruction. The aim is to discern whether certain archaeological remains are musical instruments or not, but also to determine the exact morphology of these (because many finds are fragmentary), their manufacturing process, and to identify their acoustic possibilities. Furthermore, this study will be accompanied by a preliminary morpho-technological study of the handled remains. After the experimentation phase, data is to be correlated with associated archaeological contexts, as well as with other archaeological, historical or ethnographic examples.

Abstract: The total environment of a tree is a complex integration of physical and biological elements. The physical elements are related to climate and soil and include radiation, precipitation, and the movement and composition of air; as well as the texture of the soil and its structure, depth, moisture capacity, drainage, nutrient content, and topographic position. Biological elements are the plant associates; the larger animals that use the forest as a source of food and shelter; the many small animals, insects, and insectuke animals; the fungi to which the trees are hosts; and the microorganisms in the soil.

Review: This book outlines a complete programme for the restoration and preservation of historic structures and historic sites throughout the world. It is a basic text for both the novice entering the field and the specialist. Dr Fitch covers the many disciplines, concepts and technologies needed by the preservationist. He also includes discussions of the economic, legal and legislative forces acting upon historic district planning. He provides useful information on how old buildings can be moved (either intact or disassembled) to new sites via truck, rail or barge; how to heat, cool and light old buildings and still maintain the aesthetic integrity of their interiors; and how a country can develop a comprehensive policy for the care of its artistic and historic heritage.

Abstract: This paper presents the methods used to arrive at the revised thermal properties of wood included in Table 4, Chapter 22, 1989 ASHRAE Handbook-Fundamentals (ASHRAE 1989). The procedures used to determine the specific heat, range of densities, and range of thermal conductivities of wood species generally used in building construction are presented. The rationale was to use the wood thermal property data available in publications (handbooks, journals, transactions, proceedings), from wood associations, and from new experimental data to determine the thermal properties of wood species not listed in previous editions of the Handbook. The moisture content is assumed to be 12%, which is considered the average for woods in service in buildings in the United States. This tends to give somewhat conservative values for the thermal resistance of wood but is probably more realistic than the two wood thermal resistances that appeared in the 1981 Fundamentals (ASHRAE 1981). The paper also documents the changes made in the building board section of the 1989 Fundamentals (ASHRAE 1989) and repm ts a set of test results for oven-dried waferboard.

Abstract: A proportional random selection of street tree Norway, silver, and sugar maples, and other species among four diameter classes were surveyed in the U.S.’ New York cities of Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse for decay incidence and severity. Decay was determined by drilling sampled trees with a Resistograph and calculating the ratio of sound wood to radius. Overall, 58.3% of the sampled trees had some amount of decay and incidence was highest in sugar maples and in the largest size class trees. However, decay incidence was high (53.2%) even in the smallest diameter tree size class (30.5–45.7cm (12–18 in). Decay severity was greatest in silver maple and in the largest diameter trees, although only 3.2% of the trees sampled had serious decay. The study shows that decay is common in street trees but is seldom severe. It also suggests that decay becomes established early in the life of street trees but is most severe in larger diameter trees and in trees that compartmentalize decay poorly such as silver maple. The frequency and severity of decay in the cities studied indicates that they need to continue to identify and manage trees with decay.

Abstract: The effect of sound absorption in sound pipe was examined. It turned out those two types of absorption takes place in sound pipe: irreversible and reversible ones.
