Here, for the first time this topic, a subject of long-standing controversy between astronomers and archaeologists, is approached from a perspective that incorporates both disciplines. The author establishes the importance of studies of astronomy in the context of broader questions of cosmology, ideology, and cognition that are of central interest to prehistorians at the beginning of the twenty-first century. He also makes clear the necessity of multi-disciplinary perspectives in tackling problems of this nature., , , 1999.137, , , Archaeoastronomy, Archaeoastronomy, Megalithic monuments, Megalithic monuments, , , , , 0, 0, 0, 0, Great Britain., Ireland., Great Britain., Ireland., Great Britain, Ireland, , , 0, 0, Antiquities., Antiquities., Baker & Taylor, BKTY, 80.00, 80.00, 0300078145, , , 0003214031, active, HELD BY AP$ - 298 OTHER HOLDINGS, , , c, a, m, a, a39930627zDLCdURIhFulliLCCkDDCnSummarytContentsu20131013, a232523226zMCSbHARVARD UNIVhFull batchiLCCkDDCu20100713, a134953937zRBNbBROWN UNIVhFulliLCCu20100721, a239421605zHLSbHARVARD UNIV, HARVARD COL LIBRhFull batchiLCCkDDCu20100713, a484423314zN15bNEW YORK UNIV, GROUP BATCHLOADhFulliLCCkDDCu20100709, a223891740zTOZbHARVARD UNIV, TOZZER LIBRhLess-than-full batchiLCCkDDCu20120414, a370543636zUBYbBRIGHAM YOUNG UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCqcatu20100713, a275602658zSTFbSTANFORD UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20100716, a189871392zPAUbUNIV OF PENNSYLVANIAhFulliLCCkDDCu20100729, a475710711zTEUbTEMPLE UNIVhFullu20100720, a266929408zCUDbCAMBRIDGE UNIVhFullu20110922, a686319525zYUSbYALE UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20101128, aZ0bAP$, GN805 .R84 1999
