      abstract = {This open-access book surveys how digital technology can  contribute effectively to improving our understanding of  the past, through a sensory engagement based on the  evidence of material culture. In particular, it encourages  specialists to consider senses and human agency as  important factors in studying ancient space, while  recognising the role played by digital tools in enhancing a  human-centred form of analysis. Significant advances in  archaeological computing, digital methods, and sensory  approaches have led archaeologists to rethink strategies  and methods for creating narratives of the past. Recent  progress in data visualisation and implementation, as well  as other nascent digital sensory methods, means that it is  now easier to explore and experience ancient space from a  multiscalar perspective, from the individual body or single  building to the wider landscape. The chapters in Capturing  the Senses: Digital Methods for Sensory Archaeologies  present innovative methods for representing an embodied  experience of ancient space, simulating (but not  recreating) ancient behaviours and social interaction.  Chapters cover topics including the potentials and pitfalls  of visualising, recreating, and re-enacting/experiencing  the senses in Virtual Reality environments and also digital  reconstructions and auralisations of ancient spaces to  study sound sensory perception. Overall, the book  demonstrates that multisensory approaches can give a new  perspective on how ancient spaces were intended to be used  by inhabitants to fulfil a series of purposes including  conveying messages and regulating movement. This is an  open-access book.},
