About this event
Stars and ancient stone in the Tin Coast area
If you have ever wanted to learn some of the techniques used in archaeoastronomy, here is your chance. This workshop day will be in two parts and start with an introductory morning talk, followed by discussion of techniques and software which can be used to look at how the ancient skies around Cornwall would have differed to today. This will be help in the Knut in St Just. During lunch people can walk or drive to Tregeseal stone circle and the afternoon will be out in the field on Truthwell common and allow people to put into practice some of the techniques that they have learnt in the morning. Local archaeoastronomer Carolyn Kennett will lead both sessions.
Booking required and numbers limited. Carolyn reserves the right to change the details to fall in line with any government advice and restrictions concerning Covid.
Part of the Tin Coast Events Programme. Commissioned by the Tin Coast Partnership and Cornwall 365.
