520    Eleven papers extend discussion of the role and importance
       of the landscape and the wider environment to past 
       societies, and to the understanding and interpretation of 
       their material remains, into consideration of the 
       significance of the celestial environment: the skyscape. 
       The role of the sky for past societies has been relegated 
       to the fringes of archaeological discourse. Nevertheless 
       archaeoastronomy has developed a new rigour in the last 
       few decades and the evidence suggests that it can provide 
       insights into the beliefs, practices and cosmologies of 
       past societies. Skyscapes explores the current role of 
       archaeoastronomical knowledge in archaeological discourse 
       and how to integrate the two. It shows how it is not only 
       possible but even desirable to look at the skyscape to 
       shed further light on human societies. This is achieved by
       first exploring the historical relationship between 
       archaeoastronomy and academia in general, and with 
       archaeology in particular. The volume continues by 
       presenting case-studies that either demonstrate how 
       archaeoastronomical methodologies can add to our current 
       understanding of past societies, their structures and 
       beliefs, or how integrated approaches can raise new 
       questions and even revolutionise current views of the 
       past. [Elib]
