Archaeoastronomy and Ethnoastronomy (IAU S278): Building Bridges between Cultures - Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union Symposia and Colloquia

Archaeoastronomy and ethnoastronomy - or 'cultural astronomy' - are concerned with human practices and beliefs relating to the sky as evidenced through archaeology, history and ethnography. Through its 'building bridges' theme, this book explores the strong link between cultural astronomy and the advance of modern astronomy in the developing world.
