GARZA, Clara et al. Arqueoacústica maya. La necesidad del estudio sistemático de efectos acústicos en sitios arqueológicos. Estud. cult. maya [online]. 2008, vol.32, pp.63-87. ISSN 0185-2574.

We discuss the necesity of study systematically the acoustic effects in archaeological sites, Mayans in particular. We present an overview of the state of the regarding both anthropological and mathematical modeling aspects. After presenting a general introduction and discussion about what we consider a suitable theoretical archaeoacoustical framework, we review existing works on the acoustics of Mayan sites. We focus on the chirped echo of El Castillo pyramid at Chichén Itzá, and use a mathematical model which includes both space and time to solve it numerically.
