Travis County Archeological Society

Welcome to the Travis County Archeological Society!

Our next meeting will take place Thursday, May 8th at 7pm at Tien Hong Restaurant. Meetings are free and open to the public.

The May meeting will feature Dr. Elliot Richmond, Professor of Astronomy at Austin Community College, speaking on

Archaeoastronomy in Texas: Possibilities for the Future.

I have always been interested in archaeoastronomy. Around the world, archaeoastronomy typically involves measuring the azimuths between standing stones, buildings, windows, walls, and similar structures. Few of those are applicable in Texas, so this talk will explore a few areas where archaeologists and astronomers might productively search for astronomical connections, if any exist.
