Description
For the last few years the authors have been investigating (with work
still in progress) several archaeological sites of the indigenous
culture of the island of Tenerife, in search of possible astronomical
connections, be these of a calendric or religious nature. Of these
sites, the authors will concentrate, within their archaeological
context, on those containing small channels and carved "basins" (or
"hollows") and interpreted as probable cultic sites. The present work
constitutes and initial approach to the contrasting of different
aspects, such as location, celestial horizon, morphology, the visibility
of Mount Teide and burials.
