The Journal of Music Archaeology (JMA) is the first double-blind-reviewed open access periodical in the field of music archaeology, continuing the spirit of the series Studien zur Musikarchäologie, formerly published by the DAI. It addresses questions concerning the archaeology of sound and rhythmical behaviour of past cultures all over the globe, including the study and reconstruction of certain or possible sound tools, the investigation of soundscapes, especially where intentionally chosen or erected, as well as related historical, anthropological and ethnological research based on iconographies, literatures, and comparative studies reflecting the wide range of approaches and methodologies that has characterised music archaeology from its beginnings.

Abstract

There are some 77 representations of non-conch shell pre-Columbian Maya tube trumpets known,
but only one extant ceramic version survives. The others are known from paintings, engravings,
and sculptures. Of these there appear to be two primary types: trumpets of one or more materials
(gourd being one of those) and wrapped trumpets. For this chapter I discuss the evidence for these
instruments, their materials and means of manufacture, and their uses. I will also examine the
sonic signatures on replications of the ceramic trumpet and a dipper-gourd trumpet.
