Recent developments include "skyscape archaeology" (landscape archaeology which includes celestial phenomena linked to the landscape) and virtual 3D models (virtual archaeology) for a better understanding of the original situation.
Topics: History of archaeoastronomy; introduction to astronomical phenomenology; use of an (open source) desktop planetarium; surveying for archaeoastronomy; Case studies: the Nebra sky disk; project ASTROSIM about Middle Neolithic Circular Ditch Systems of Lower Austria; computer based models for skyscape archaeology.
