Yep. tiompan wrote: I don't think that most open air RA has any archaeoastro connection but if they are there it should be recorded and considered . There are a few monuments that are accepted as having intentional astro alignments and they often have RA in or on them . Very true - though there are still some folk who'd even argue the astronomy ingredients! I tend to find that it's those who don't gerrout too much. Would you agree though: caution is probably the best ingredient in this arena. Of the hundreds of CRs in Yorkshire for example, less than a handful throw out any obvious astro-ingredients. And I'd even take that figure into the notion of the designs being star-maps (though would love to be proved wrong!). I think a lot of astro stuff is very debatable even without proving intention . If RA mapped anything landscape or sky , it would have been sussed by Simpson's time , plus totally different maps right next to each makes for confusion Reply | with quote |  11th September 2007ce 21:32 In reply to: Re: Rock Art and Astronomical Events (Paulus) |
