Use eHRAF Archaeology to find information on prehistoric “sundials” such as the one recently found in a bronze age site in the Ukraine (see http://www.archaeology.org/news/1380-131009-ukraine-sundial-bronze-age). Simply use a keyword as shown in this Advanced Search example (see http://screencast.com/t/GoLN9vZbbExa ), or make use of the HRAF specific subject “Ordering of Time” (OCM 805) in combination with word “sun” (see the Advanced Search example at http://screencast.com/t/nxEJjucT66UN). This will bring up interesting finds in archaeological traditions from around the world, including, of course, the Classic Maya, Inka, and Protohistoric Egypt. If you use the OCM subject “Ordering of Time” in Advanced Search without keywords will yield even more search results including information on that subject for archaeological traditions such as Akkadians of Mesopotamia, the Hohokam of the American Southwest, or the Tiahuanaco of the Andes.
