Astroarchaeology is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles of archaeology and astronomy to study how ancient cultures understood and utilized celestial phenomena. Researchers in this field examine archaeological sites, artifacts, and structures to uncover how past civilizations aligned their architecture and rituals with celestial events, such as solstices and equinoxes. By analyzing these connections, astroarchaeologists can gain insights into the cultural significance of the cosmos for ancient peoples. This can reveal how they navigated, organized their calendars, and even made decisions based on astronomical observations, shedding light on their beliefs and practices related to the universe.
