Archaeoastronomy in Archaeology and Ethnography: Papers from the Annual Meeting of SEAC (European Society for Astronomy in Culture), Held in Kecskemét in Hungary in 2004

Portada
Papers from the annual meeting of SEAC (European Society for Astronomy in Culture) held in Kecskemét in Hungary in 2004. Most of the presentations belong to the field of archaeoastronomy. They concern what influence celestial phenomena might have had on ancient cultures and how this impact is reflected in material, archaeological finds. Archaeoastronomy, as an interdisciplinary branch of science and the humanities, is slowly gaining acceptance amongst archaeologists and historians of religion ... it is a field where it is possible to draw on our understanding of celestial events, and to enrich our understanding of archaeological data. Archaeoastronomy can often find solutions to questions which have proved impervious to the methodology of archaeology. -- introd.
