Abstract


The author outlines a sketch of the development of the study of astronomical and calendrical practices in its sociocultural context during the last thirty years. This study has gone through many changes and these stages may be symbolized by the names of astroarchaeology, megalithic astronomy, archaeoastronomy, ethnoastronomy and cultural astronomy. The author describes this evolution, and the present state of this discipline and then gives a bibliography on the subject in order to promote such research in Spain.
