A similar design dates back to Olmec times. Preface The third ‘Oxford’ international conference on archaeoastronomy was held in St. Andrews, Scotland, in September 1990. The ‘Oxford’ confer­ ences, held at approximately four-yearly intervals, have aimed to provide a truly interdisciplinary focus on the study of astronomical practice in its cultural context, as well as a forum for discussing issues of theory and method. ‘Oxford 1’, held in 1981, was notable for bringing together, for the first time in substantial numbers, archaeoastronomers from the Old and New Worlds, as well as bringing face to face two very different methodological approaches, refected in the contents of the two volumes arising from the Oxford 1 conference (Heggie 1982; Aveni 1982). Over the decade since Oxford 1, the scope and variety of cultural investi­ gations involving astronomy has increased widely. ‘Oxford 2’ held in Mérida, Mexico in 1986 (Aveni 1989), and now ‘Oxford 3’, have demon­ strated the substantial progress that has been made in building bridges between the diversity of academic disciplines which have an interest in, and must inevitably be involved in, the study of astronomy in culture. A further set of issues was raised at Oxford 3 involving the relation­ ship of archaeoastronomy to the mainstream of its parent, or constituent, disciplines. It is clear that if archaeoastronomy is not to remain an ‘island discipline’, then communication between archaeoastronomy and these mainstream disciplines is of critical importance. It was with a view to en­ suring that archaeoastronomers do not merely communicate amongst themselves that two separate volumes of papers were planned to arise out of the contributions at Oxford 3. This, the first, is a volume of conference papers intended primarily for an ‘internal’ readership within the archaeo­ astronomical community. The second contains ten longer review papers, specially selected from contributions at Oxford 3, and is aimed at a wider readership. x Archaeoastronomy in the 1990s ‘Archaeoastronomy in the 1990s’ contains 31 papers covering a wide variety of current research topics in archaeoastronomy. Further details are given in the introduction which follows. The companion Oxford 3 volume, ‘Astronomies and Cultures’, aims to give an overview both of the scope of archaeoastronomy and of the broad range of problems being addressed within it. It is published by the University Press of Colorado, PO Box 849, Niwot, Colorado 80544, USA. Abstracts of the papers contained there are given in the Appendix of the current volume. The editor wishes to express his gratitude to the many people who made Oxford 3 possible, most notably Aubrey Burl, Michael Hoskin and Nicholas Saunders for their work within the National Organising Com­ mittee, and Tristan Platt for his work as local organiser. Special and warm thanks are due to the late Douglas Gifford, whose enthusiasm and foresight made the conference possible at St. Andrews. The conference is grateful to the British Academy and the British Council for financial support. References Aveni, A. F., ed. (1982). Archaeoastronomy in the New World.

Dedication The interval between Oxford 2 and Oxford 3 has witnessed the passing of Horst Hartung, a pioneer in the interdisciplinary field of archaeoastron­ omy. From his beginnings as an engineer (Diploma in Engineering, Stutt­ gart, 1948; Doctor of Engineering, Stuttgart, 1971) he became Professor of Pre-Columbian Architecture and Urbanism and a member of the Faculty of Architecture in the University of Guadalajara. What is little known to his academic colleagues is that Horst also was a practising modern architect of considerable skill and reputation. An early guiding inspiration to all archaeoastronomers was induced by a note from one of Hartung’s papers that read: ‘Astronomers might be able to find out whether the orientations and directions that are noted are related to any astronomical events’ (Centro de Investigaciones Históricas y Estéticas, Universidad Central boletín 11 (1969), 127–37; my trans­ lation from the Spanish). Horst had the wisdom to follow up his own suggestion and as a result he produced more than three dozen papers as well as a co-authored monograph and book. Beginning with an early interest in site planning and settlement patterns, Hartung recognised in his earliest publications, dating from the 1960s, that it would be possible to frame purposive hypotheses to explain the often unusual situation and orientation of certain ensembles of Pre- Columbian buildings. Among the interesting factors he brought into play were the sky and landscape surrounding the ceremonial centre. This led to an interest in particular specialised buildings that may have been designed deliberately for

From the Ordnance Survey Ireland map of the area (Sheet 42 Discovery Series), six peaks can be discerned on its ridges. These range in altitude from 237 m AOD at the eastern end to ·the 254 m high summit of Carbane West at the other end of the range. Carbane East is the dominant peak with an altitude of 276 m AOD. Geologically, the main rock types of the formation are sandstone, greywacke and shale and are dated to the Silurian Period (440-410 million years ago).

(May 2004) James Burr Harrison III, B.A., Texas State University-San Marcos Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Carolyn Boyd Dr. David Carlson This thesis examines six prominent Pecos River Style rock art anthropomorph attributes to determine if they are found in limited geographic districts of the Lower Pecos Region. Both Boyd (2003) and Turpin (2004) have suggested that spatially-segregated motif distributions exist in the rock art and that these patterns are important in understanding regional prehistoric hunter- gatherer lifeways during the Archaic Period. This study verifies that the feather hip cluster motif is geographically limited, identified only in the neighboring Seminole and Painted Canyon systems. As part of this spatial analysis, the previously undocumented principle of intersite stylistic traditions is introduced.
