Skyscape Academy today announced the launch of its inaugural 15-month training programme in archaeoastronomy and skyscape archaeology. Set to commence in January 2026, the initiative invites enthusiasts and scholars alike to explore how prehistoric peoples, from the builders of Stonehenge to Polynesian navigators, aligned their monuments with the rhythms of the sun, moon, and stars.
The full programme, priced at an accessible £1,250 (a 38% discount from the standard £2,000), offers a comprehensive journey through foundational concepts, hands-on fieldwork, historical theory, and advanced lunar and stellar analyses. No prior knowledge of astronomy or archaeology is required for most modules, making it ideal for beginners inspired by Wiltshire's iconic landscapes. Highlights include:
- Introduction to Archaeoastronomy (31 January – 1 February 2026): A beginner-friendly overview of global sites, spotlighting Stonehenge's solstice alignments.
- Foundations in Skyscape Archaeology (11–12 April 2026): Core methods for interpreting celestial influences on ancient structures.
- Fieldwork and Data Analysis (13–14 June 2026): Practical skills for surveying sites like the Wiltshire henges.
- History and Theory (12–13 September 2026): Tracing the evolution of archaeoastronomical thought.
- Advanced Topics (7–8 November 2026): Deep dives into lunar standstills and statistical validation, with exclusive access to cutting-edge research.
