Astronomical Orientation of the Skyband Bench at Copán

Journal of Field Archaeology, 1999
AbstractThe recently described Skyband Bench from a non-royal but elite residential complex (Group 8N-11) at the Classic Maya site of Copan, Honduras, bears a carving on its front edge that has explicitly astronomical content, including the Sun, the Moon, and venus. The building in which the Skyband Bench is located (Str.

Mound J, Monte Albán: Possible Astronomical Orientation

American Antiquity, 1972
AbstractMound J, Monte Albán, a building of peculiar orientation and shape, has been mapped and tested for astronomical orientation. At the time of construction of the building, a line perpendicular to the base of the steps of J would have pointed to the rising position of the bright star Capella, which rose heliacally on one of the days of solar ...

Astronomically-oriented markings on Stonehenge

Nature, 1976
In view of the years of careful study that have been devoted to Stonehenge it may seem unlikely that any more information could be extracted from the monument, or at least from that part of it above ground. During the past two years, however, further markings have come to light that are, at least, interesting, and possibly important. These markings are

Astronomical orientation and learning in the shrimp Palaemonetes antennarius

Marine Biology, 1989
Adult and young individuals of the shrimp Palaemonetes antennarius (Milne Edwards) collected in the field (experienced), and laboratory-born (inexperienced) young were tested in a transparent bowl screened to hide the surrounding landscape from view. Field individuals were collected in South Tuscany, Italy, and testing was carried out in spring-summer ...

Ancient Egyptian chronology and the astronomical orientation of pyramids

Nature, 2000
The ancient Egyptian pyramids at Giza have never been accurately dated, although we know that they were built approximately around the middle of the third millennium BC. The chronologies of this period have been reconstructed from surviving lists of kings and the lengths of their reigns, but the lists are rare, seldom complete and contain known ...

Ancient chronology. Astronomical orientation of the pyramids.

Nature, 2001
Spence speculates that Egypt's pyramid builders found true north by using a plumb line: when the stars Kochab and Mizar were seen on the same vertical, one was facing north. As evidence in support of this hypothesis, she points to the proposed interstar-line precession past the north celestial pole at a rate of 27' per century (cy).
