The site is under quite a bit of re-design at the moment. The domain archaeoastronomy.wordpress.com should be pointing here. Some images and links may be broken. I'll be fixing them as I spot them. For more details see the 2009 site revision.

When it’s finished the Okhta Center will have all the mod-cons necessary for a major commercial centre like monuments, desks and a large glass tower which will stand around [...]

  • Damage at Fajada Butte?

    I’ve had a go at setting up an archaeoastronomy channel on Youtube. Jsefick’s account is a bit of a goldmine for that as he has plenty of videos with interesting archaeoastronomical content.
