For the first time, a book series featuring scientific investigations in this fascinating inter- and crossdisciplinary field, will be available. The series will encompass 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 will feature case studies and the results of research projects in the field, in which a great variety of music-archaeological approaches are commonly applied."--Publisher's website.
