Hi Cathy,

There are many sites that are believed to be "ancient solar sites." One of them is a Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. You can visit this spot on-line at the website: http://www.traditionsofthesun.org/ There are more, but I do not know of them right off the top of my head. Perhaps some of the other scientists will know.

Hello Cathy,

There are indeed many sites in the U.S. that are considered to be associated with observations of the Sun. We have a site in Cahokia, Illinois called Woodhenge, for instance (see http://solarscience.msfc..../slshow3.stm#cahokia and http://www.utexas.edu/cou...98/mcbridebio.html). There's also the Big Horn Medicine Wheel in Wyoming (http://solar-center.stanf...du/AO/bighorn.html). In the southeast, there are many Indian "mounds," some of which may have been used for solar observations; these include Ocmulgee and Etowah in Georgia and Moundville in Alabama (see http://www.lostworlds.org/etowah_mounds.html). There were also mounds at Cahokia.
