Preface
This volume contains a series of studies on cultural astronomy in honour of Clive
Ruggles and his groundbreaking work in the field, written by a selection of his close
colleagues. We hope that the volume is both a fitting tribute to Clive and a significant contribution to the further development of cultural astronomy as an academic
discipline.
On behalf of the editors, the publishers have made a donation to the Alice Ruggles
Trust on publication of this book. For more information about the Alice Ruggles
