Plymouth, New Hampshire What Is Archaeoastronomy? Archaeoastronomy is still a very new area of study with a number of different definitions. Factors determining the definition depends on the approach you are taking. Being Theoretical - Dealing With Practical Applications Within a Modern or Ancient Framework - Dealing in General Investigative Research Or Offshoots or Sub-Disciplines of the Field Generally, it can be defined as the astronomical analysis of archaeological features. Overall, it is devoted to determining the nature and extent of early mans astronomical knowledge. There are other names for archaeoastronomy such as astro-archaeology, astronomical archaeology, and archaeological astronomy. Primarily they mean the same thing as are derived from Astro, meaning star and Archaeo meaning ancient Archaeoastronomy is an interdisciplinary approach involving areas of cultural anthropology, astronomy, mythology, engineering, folklore, navigation, prehistoric art, navigation, land surveying, philology, and geography. Archaeoastronomy developed as a result of the question - Could ancient man have built stone structures to measure, or at least account for movements of the sun, moon, and other celestial objects?

Archaeoastronomy and Cultural Astronomy FAQ Learning Resource AR 3015 Introduction ... Clive Ruggles Last Updated: 19 May 2006 12:57 Information provided by Professor Clive Ruggles. This site has been designed and implemented by Tania Ruiz University of Leicester. Frequently Asked Questions What are archaeoastronomy and cultural astronomy? Archaeoastronomy is the study of beliefs and practices concerning the sky in the past, and especially in prehistory, and the uses to which people's knowledge of the skies were put. It uses archaeological and historical methods to investigate past astronomies. Ethnoastronomy is similar to archaoastronomy, except that it focuses upon more modern societies through the methods of anthropology, ethnography and sociology. Since there is no clear dividing line between the two fields, the term "cultural astronomy" has emerged which encompasses both. Astronomical alignments at Stonehenge, Mayan tables of eclipses and the motions of Venus, and why modern people still believe in astrology are among the topics covered in current research in these fields. Is it for real?

Contact me at : pollrw55@es.co.nz 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.

Wikipedia Archaeoastronomy The sun rising over Stonehenge at the 2005 Summer Solstice The rising sun illuminates the inner chamber of Newgrange , Ireland, only at the winter solstice. Archaeoastronomy (also spelled archeoastronomy ) is the study of ancient or traditional astronomies in their cultural context, utilising archaeological and anthropological evidence. The anthropological study of astronomical practices in contemporary societies is often called ethnoastronomy, although there is no consensus as to whether ethnoastronomy is a separate discipline or is a part of archaeoastronomy. Archaeoastronomy is also closely associated with historical astronomy , the use of historical records of heavenly events to answer astronomical problems and the history of astronomy , which uses written records to evaluate past astronomical traditions.

Oral traditions of ancient peoples around the world suggest that the dawn and twilight periods of each day were regarded as somehow 'sacred' to many societies. Latitude defined the duration of these 'sacred twilight' periods each day, and the events on the horizon at these times were revered, and marked by them for observation. Later these observation points were the scenes of ritual re-enactments of past events in the 'live sky' , but more importantly were also the scenes of 'simultaneous enactments' of events in the sky as they happened, and as they intrepreted them
