Recordist's notes

Recording taken inside one of the Domus de Janas at the Necropoli di Sas Concas. It is a tomb carved into solid rock, used by Neolithic and Copper Age communities around 2700 BCE. This tomb was filled with the nests of some insect similar to a wasp, but it looked differently.. The entire low ceiling was covered with their nests. They got annoyed when we went inside, but they weren’t aggressive; they just became more active. When I started recording, they went back to what they were doing, flying out and returning to their nests. Outside, on the grounds of the Necropolis, there was a horse that could be heard at one moment. (Tascam FR-AV2 + LOM Uši Pro)
