Site KIP-1151

View eastwards from the higher leveled space, dominated by the lava hillock some 60 m away. (Photo composite by Clive Ruggles)

The view from the center of the upper leveled space at site KIP-1151, overlaid upon the digitally generated horizon profile (which cannot reproduce the nearby landform). The darker yellow line indicates the rising path of the sun at the June solstice; the lighter yellow line indicates the rising path of the sun at the equinoxes; and the blue line indicates the rising path of the Pleiades in A.D. 1600. An additional azimuth scale is provided at the bottom. (Composite of photo by Clive Ruggles and graphic by Andrew Smith; colour version of Figure 7.36 in the book)

DTM-generated profile of the horizon to the west as seen from site KIP-1151. The horizontal bars indicate the direction of the main axial orientation. The solid shaded lines indicate the setting paths of the sun at the December solstice (left) and June solstice (right); the dash-and-dot line indicates the setting path of the sun at the equinoxes; and the dotted line indicates the setting path of the Pleiades in AD 1600. For a commentary see page 259 of the book. (Graphic by Andrew Smith)
