There seems to be some changes done to the list under India around 14Dec2010 which has listed some sites which do not (seem to) have an importance in astronomy. The original list seems to consist of Jantar Mantar and Gyarah Sidi both of which are observatories. Does anyone know any particular reason or have verifiable information for the rest of the sites under India? They might be of an archeological importance but not necessarily astronomical/logical importance. Kulendra ( talk) 17:37, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
The list of archaeoastronomical sites on the main archaeoastronomy page is both a bit cumbersome for the entry and out of date. If the list were properly updated it would be huge, so I've moved it to this new page following the model for List of archaeological sites.
I've merged the Old and New World lists into an alphabetical list as the primary reason for splitting the two would be methodology and that's a bit dated these days. -- Alunsalt 08:49, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
I've removed this page from the astrology category. Most of the sites might have astrological significance, but there no way to verify this. There is no astrological information for prehistoric Europe, nor for North American sites. There is possible data for Mesoamerica, and for Babylon, Historic Europe and China, but not for the sites as a whole.
A suitable solution might be to list individual sites in the Astrology category where there are verifiable connections.
I have added a few additional details to some of the sites listed. Archaeoastronomy has a bad reputation among some people and it may be partialy justified but not entirely. By providing a few details to the site for each location if it isn't to much it may clarify that these are ligitimate archaeoastronomy sites. If there are some that don't have any explanation as to why they are on the list then they may not belong, but I'm not going to remove any unless I'm sure they don't belong. If anyone else would care to provide brief discriptions please do preferably with sources. I'll check more when I have the time and possibly add a few more details.

I think Goloring should be added for Germany but I'm no expert. German.Knowitall ( talk) 17:13, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Rujm el Hiri is not in Israel, but in an area internationally recognized as part of Syria. -- Supreme Deliciousness ( talk) 19:22, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
Just have the section title be Golan Heights. If it is necessary to include that Israel controls (occupies) that area, have it say Israel and the Israeli-occupied territories. This really does not have to be this hard. The material shouldnt simply be removed, and it also should not be listed under Israel. nableezy - 18:04, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
Tell es-Sultan is the west bank, not in Israel. -- Supreme Deliciousness ( talk) 15:10, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
Should Eagle Rock be added to the list of archeological astronomy sites or is it a different subject matter altogether? 2600:1005:B064:ACD2:0:55:30DB:7E01 ( talk) 19:46, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
