Abstract
The Parpalló Cave is located in the slopes of Montdúber, in Valencia (Spain). It is one of the most important Palaeolithic sites, not only in Spain, but in the world. It was a privileged location for its inhabitants from the Upper Palaeolithic onwards. It has one of the most spectacular collections of Palaeolithic art mobilier found to date. The Parpalló cave features a considerably large opening which, undoubtedly, influences its acoustic properties. Indeed, the sound pressure field inside the cave is not excessively reverberant and intelligibility is significantly better than in similar enclosures. In this work a study of the acoustic properties of the Parpalló cave is performed by using numerical simulation.
