My curiosity was picqued when I taught a course several years ago that touched on archaoeastronomy and it was very obvious that the continent of Africa, certainly sub-Saharan Africa was conspicuous by its absence in popular texts on the subject. I waited for a chance to explore this area in more depth. That came with this Freshman Seminar and the opportunity to work with a group of energetic young people who did all the work that brought this information together. There is a great, unfolding story here and much more to learn.
