Archeoastronomy - An introduction

I am always on the lookout for interesting articles on astronomy and recently I came across a series on archeoastronomy by Rich Holtzin. He has been on an extensive tour of the South West United States since late last year and has spent quite a lot of time visiting archeological sites of astronomical significance.

The links below are his first blog entries on the topic. Unlike many blogs, they are very extensive, detailed and filled with photos. I’ll be posting more link to Rich’s blogs, covering Chaco Canyon and other important location throughout the Four Corners area.
