An archaeology of the festival calendar: astronomical and climatic traces in seasonal festivals
Abstract
Eighty-six festivals from fourteen traditions are compared by their calendar position and their relation to the agricultural cycle and astronomical events. The aim is to extract, in measurable form, what festival dates record about past climate and harvest regimes. A Turkish draft is complete; the English version is in preparation.
