Megalithomania Conference

STUART MASON - Intro to Astro-Archaeology

Stuart’s talk was delivered in a way as to encourage the amateur archaeologist in all of us to get out into the field and find alignments. A discussion on how the sun, moon, stars and planets are encoded into ancient temples, stone circles and pyramids. He explored rises, sets of celestial bodies and how shadow can move at ancient sites around the world. Stuart also looked at his local landscape around Sussex, particulary the 'Lewes Tump'.

Stuart opened the event at Megalithomania 2007.
