ARCHAEOASTRONOMY |
|
|
I started working in this field in my spare time (which is not
much) in 1997, when I commenced a study on the astronomical
orientation of the ancient church of St. Martin in Artegna
(Friuli-Italy). This building, that has a venerable history, appears
to be oriented rather precisely along the East-West direction (the
deviation is only 0.7 degrees), even though the natural horizon is
disturbed by the presence of some mountains. This triggered my curiosity and, since then, I started a more systematic work in this area. Give a try to the following links to get some more details on my activities in this field. |

(*) The two pictures at the top
show a detail of one of the two stones that are currently inserted in the wall surrounding the
St. Mary's church in Artegna (Friuli-Italy). The images of a Star
and the Moon are pretty clearly visible. They have been
dated as pre-roman (i.e. before 181 b.C), but the dating has been
recently questioned. They are certainly not Roman...
