Nearby Archeoastronomy Sites (Live-streamed Astronomy Talk) ~ Hosted by Pajarito Environmental Education Center

Since the discovery of the “Sun Dagger” site on Fajada Butte in Chaco Canyon, there has been considerable interest in finding other such sites that could observe special days of the year, like summer and winter solstices and the spring and fall equinoxes. Some quite impressive archeoastronomy sites have indeed been found all around the Southwest. These sites were important to Ancestral Puebloans for both for practical and ceremonial reasons.

Given the plethora of ancient native ruins on the Pajarito Plateau, one might expect to find such solar sites here.

Join Chick Keller to discuss two such sites of considerable sophistication near Los Alamos, the second of which could be the most remarkable of all sites found to date.
