This is a list of sites where claims for the use of archaeoastronomy have been made, sorted by country.. The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) jointly published a thematic study on heritage sites of astronomy and archaeoastronomy to be used as a guide to UNESCO in its evaluation of the cultural importance of archaeoastronomical ...
The rising Sun illuminates the inner chamber of Newgrange, Ireland, only at the winter solstice.. Archaeoastronomy (also spelled archeoastronomy) is the interdisciplinary [1] or multidisciplinary [2] study of how people in the past "have understood the phenomena in the sky, how they used these phenomena and what role the sky played in their cultures".

Duvall and Venner (1979:462) examined a sample of Calico artifacts and concluded they were form-selected examples of naturally flaked rocks. Their assessment was based on variances in seven attributes (length, width, thickness, flake angle, medial axis angle, lateral edge angle, and distal edge angle) and comparison with comparable attributes ...

The journal was established in 1970 and was published by Science History Publications through to 2013, and since 2014 by SAGE Publishing. From 1979 to 2002, Archaeoastronomy was published as a supplement, but was incorporated in 2003. [1]
Kumeyaay astronomy or cosmology (Kumeyaay: My Uuyow, "sky knowledge") comprises the astronomical knowledge of the Kumeyaay people, a Native American group whose traditional homeland occupies what is now Southern California in the United States and adjacent parts of northern Baja California in Mexico.

In the field of relativistic astrophysics, Magli has worked on the so-called Cosmic Censorship conjecture.He was the first to find the general exact solution of the Einstein field equations for spherically symmetric spacetimes with tangential stresses and, together with R. Giambo', F. Giannoni and P. Piccione, to investigate the nature of the final state for these gravitational collapse models.
