This collection of essays on cultural astronomy celebrates the life
and work of Clive Ruggles, Emeritus Professor of Archaeoastronomy
at Leicester University. Taking their lead from Ruggles' work, the
papers present new research focused on three core themes in
cultural astronomy: methodology, case studies, and heritage.
Through this framework, they show how the study of cultural
astronomy has evolved over time and share new ideas to continue
advancing the field. Ruggles' work in these areas has had a
profound impact on the way that scholars approach evidence of the
role of sky in both ancient and modern cultures. While the papers
span many time periods and regions, they are closely connected by
these three major themes, presenting methodological investigations
of how we can approach archaeological, textual, and ethnographic
evidence; describing detailed archaeoastronomical case studies; or
stressing the importance of global heritage management. This work
will appeal to researchers and scholars interested in the history
and development of cultural astronomy.
