Archaeogeodesy, a Key to Prehistory

Posted on 22nd February, 2012 by Chaz

Archaeogeodesy encompasses prehistoric and ancient place determination, point positioning, navigation, astronomy, and measure and representation of the earth and geodynamic phenomena.
Distance is constant except for the negligible influence of plate tectonics. Site-to-site arc distance remains fixed in landscape reference. In contrast, secular polar motion alters the actual latitude of almost all geodetic positions on the planet, very slowly changing latitude at a local rate. The change in latitude due to secular polar motion is very slow compared to the temporal change in latitude-determined solar and lunar illumination angles, a function of angle of inclination of the axis
