| Abstract: |
This brief list is an introduction to some of the resources for the study of astronomy of various cultures that are of interest to non-specialists and educators. The branch of archaeology that looks at the astronomical ideas and monuments of ancient cultures is called archaeoastronomy. We cite some of the most useful sources in this field for beginners, but acknowledge that we are only scraping the surface. Additions to this list are most welcome, and should be sent to the author at: fraknoiandrew@fhda.edu |
