Lost Codex Used Book Sale Outside Links Archaeoastronomy Archaeology Astronomy History of Science ... Museums The study of the astronomical practices, celestial lore, mythologies, religions and world-views of all ancient cultures we call archaeoastronomy . We like to describe archaeoastronomy, in essence, as the "anthropology of astronomy", to distinguish it from the "history of astronomy". You may already know that many of the great monuments and ceremonial constructions of early civilizations were astronomically aligned. The accurate cardinal orientation of the Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt or the Venus alignment of the magnificent Maya Palace of the Governor at Uxmal in Yucatan are outstanding examples. We learn much about the development of science and cosmological thought from the study of both the ancient astronomies and surviving indigenous traditions around the world. With its roots in the Stonehenge discoveries of the 1960s, archaeoastronomy and ethnoastronomy (the study of contemporary native astronomies) have blossomed into active interdisciplinary fields that are providing new perspectives for the history of our species' interaction with the cosmos.

Workshop on the Archaeoastronomy of the American Southwest Update A two-day workshop on archaeoastronomy was held at Pueblo Grande Museum, Phoenix, Arizona, on March 11 and 12, 2010. This workshop was designed to provide technical training on how to record ancient and historic astronomy sites in the American Southwest region, and was organized by Ken Zoll (Arizona Archaeological Society), Todd Bostwick (Pueblo Grande Museum), and Bryan Bates (Coconino Community College). More than 50 people attended.

    http://www.sinaguasunwatchers.com/
    
    Extractions: Seasonal calendars were a foundation of early cultures to identify the time for hunting and gathering, planting and harvesting, worshiping and celebrating. Solar seasonal calendars have been identified at Ancestral Puebloan sites in Arizona and New Mexico, at Hohokam sites in the Phoenix region, and at Northern Sinagua locations near Flagstaff, Arizona. While there have been anecdotal reporting of rock art with solar significance within Southern Sinagua areas, none had been documented until recently. This site describes the solar markings near Sedona, Arizona. The Southern Sinagua created these rock art sites sometime between A.D. 900 and 1400. Archaeoastronomy Archaeoastronomy is one of the disciplines that has appeared in recent years as a way of interpreting rock art. Numerous interactions have been claimed for sites around the world, and especially here in the Southwestern United States. This site provides a general introduction to this field of study. The first archaeoastronomy survey in the Sedona area was conducted at the V-Bar-V Heritage Site in 2005-2006. Several other sites are currently under study and are in various stages of completion. Our survey focus is to record a site for a full year before passing judgment on its solar significance. You are invited to follow the progress of these studies.

Until April 28 the disk and the related objects are now on display in Halle, Germany - before the return to the hands of science for restoration and detailled analysis. Metallurgical studies are already indicating that it is old and at least not a simple forgery. All results will eventually be published, probably more than a year from now, and then the disk, if found to be genuine, will be displayed permanently. Perhaps by then we will also have an idea what its original purpose may have been and how it fits into the history of mankind's desire to understand the Universe.

34. Archaeoastronomy Or Astroarchaeology - What Is It?
    Stones of Wonder is a comprehensive guide to the astronomy of the ancient stone circles, cairns and megaliths in Scotland. It includes full site descriptions, plans and photos.  
    http://www.stonesofwonder.com/archaeoa.htm
    
    Extractions: The investigation of the astronomical potential of prehistoric megalithic sites is not a field which has particular appeal to modern archaeologists in Scotland or England. The main reason for this is possibly that the subject requires some skills and interests which are outside those generally possessed by the archaeological community. Another reason is that archaeology has never developed the prestige and authority of other professions. Consequently lay people and interested outsiders from other fields feel free to offer their ideas and opinions about archaeological subjects to professional archaeologists in a way that they would never do about conveyancing to a lawyer or about caries to a dentist. Archaeologists can find this annoying.

    Extractions: Next: Fully Convective M Up: CURRENT RESEARCH Previous: ZAMS K-Dwarfs A section of Chaco Canyon National Historical Culture Park, NM, that has been occupied by both Anasazi and Navajo peoples, is being surveyed for astronomically relevant features by Ambruster and A. Hull (OCA Applied Optics). Particularly evocative is the Navajo name for this area, which translates as sun moving across petroglyph . In December 1995, they confirmed a winter solstice alignment at an exceptionally rich early Navajo rock art site. Measurements from field work the previous summer had suggested that the winter solstice sun would rise in a formed by the visual intersection of a cliff on the distant southeastern horizon and a large foreground boulder containing two incised sun shields. This cliff, which is coincident with the winter solstice sunrise azimuth, is the most conspicuous horizon feature seen from this part of the canyon. Calculations further suggested that the sun would ascend along the ridge of the foreground boulder, which slopes upward at a angle from the horizontal. The actual sun at winter solstice performed as the measurements had implied, both in its rising position on the horizon, and in its slow march up the ridge of the boulder. It is not clear whether the important thing for the early Navajo observer was watching the morning sun ascend the boulder or, for the sake of eye comfort, keeping the rising sun just below the crest. However, the sky-related rock art (two sun shields, plus several drilled constellations) on the same panel with incised sacred (Yei) figures, strongly suggests the winter solstice sunrise was noted and commemorated here.
