SCAAS Journal Club August 2022

The Sun Dagger Debate - Join this Journal club edition to see some of the most influential researchers in Southwestern cultural astronomy review and discuss two papers about the now famous Sun Dagger of Fajada Butte in Chaco Canyon National Historical Park. Leading off is Sofaer, Zinzer and Sinclair's "A unique solar marking construct" followed by John Carlson's "Romancing the Stone, or Moonshine on the Sun Dagger." These two papers with their researchers form the core of the debate on the Sun Dagger.
