Below is a partial list of useful ancient astronomy links which have been examined and found to be very useful for their relevance and content in teaching archeoastronomy. This list will be updated regularly, and the goal is to present a concise list of truly useful and innovative web pages which can supplement the study and teaching of world astronomy.
If you have suggestions for additional links please send them to Dr. Bryan Penprase, at the email address penprase@shanti.pomona.claremont.edu
