Fabio Silva is a Senior Lecturer in Archaeological Modelling at Bournemouth University. His primary research interest is on how societies have perceived and conceived their environment and used that to time and adjust social, productive and magico-religious behaviours. This steered me to focus my research along two distinct yet complementary strands: archaeological modelling and skyscape archaeology. On the latter, he is not so interested in identifying and collecting celestial alignments but in understanding how they can help peek into the ontologies of past societies. His skyscape research mostly focused on Neolithic and Bronze Age Portugal and the United Kingdom. His books include Skyscapes: The Role and Importance of the Sky in Archaeology (co-edited with N Campion, Oxbow Books, 2015) and The Materiality of the Sky (co-edited with K Malville, T Lomsdalen and F Ventura, Sophia Centre Press, 2016). He was awarded the Fifth Carlos Jaschek Award from the European Society for Astronomy in Culture (SEAC) in 2016. 

 

Dr. Erica Ellingson has degrees in Physics and Astrophysics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology of the University of Arizona and is Professor Emeritus at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her astrophysical research includes multi-wavelength observational programs using both ground-based and space observatories to trace dark matter distributions in large scale structures, galaxy and quasar evolution and test cosmological models. In the past decade her interests have expanded to cultural astronomy and skyscape archaeology, with an emphasis on the American Southwest and developing rigorous methodologies. She also produces planetarium content, teaches in a wide range of public venues and is a consultant with the US National Park Service.

Book Reviews Editor

Tasha graduated from Bournemouth University in Archaeology and Anthropology and is currently completing a Masters by Research looking into Christian to contemporary Pagan conversion in the West. 

Assistant Editor

Danielle has undertaken an undergraduate degree in Ancient Civilisations and a postgraduate degree in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology, both from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. Her research focuses on understanding the lives of prehistoric people through their engagement with their environments and how this is represented in cosmology, architecture, myths and rituals. She hopes to continue her education at PhD level, with a focus on the Anatolian and Cretan Neolithic/Early Bronze Age.
