Description
Through auto-ethnography and reflexive phenomenology, the author highlights the role water can have as a means for reflecting the sky, something that “is often undervalued when interpreting archaeoastronomical sites”. Her own thoughts and experiences, as she concludes, “aim to inspire new perspectives on sky-and-water related case studies and give value to the practice of reflexive phenomenology as crucial method of research.”
