Meetings
Travis County Archeological Society meets second Thursdays every month except June. Meetings are currently held at the lovely Tien Hong Restaurant, 8301 Burnet Road (between Anderson and 183). Our business meeting starts at 7 pm, but we usually gather for dinner closer to 5:45.
Our next meeting will be May 8, 2008.
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.
