#11 - Dr. Gail Higginbottom. Scotland Pt 02. Cultural astronomy in prehistoric Scotland

Dr. Gail Higginbottom is a landscape archaeologist, cultural heritage manager, and theorist specializing in Europe's ancient and prehistoric cultures. Utilizing digital archaeology including drones, photogrammetry, geographical information systems and 3D software, Gail recreates night skies and interprets them against past landscapes.

In this episode we discuss archaeoastronomy and cultural astronomy in Neolithic and Bronze Age Scotland. Gail describes the unified roles of community skywatchers and emerging priestly classes, explaining how cosmic order folded into oneness, contrasting with the modern tendency for creating dualities.
