Gerald Stanley Hawkins (20 April 1928– 26 May 2003) was a British-born American astronomer and author noted for his work in the field of archaeoastronomy. A professor and chair of the astronomy department at Boston University in the United States, he published in 1963 an analysis of Stonehenge in which he was the first to propose that it was an ancient astronomical observatory used to predict movements of the sun and moon, and that it was used as a computer. Archaeologists and other scholars have since demonstrated such sophisticated, complex planning and construction at other prehistoric earthwork sites, such as Cahokia in the United States.

  • Gerald Stanley Hawkins (20 avril 1928 - 26 mai 2003) est un astronome britannique principalement connu pour son travail en archéoastronomie. Il est professeur et chair du département d'astronomie de l'université de Boston aux États-Unis. En 1965 il a publié une analyse sur Stonehenge dans laquelle il fut le premier à proposer l'idée que ce lieu servait d'observatoire astronomique utilisé pour prédire les mouvements du Soleil et des étoiles. Les archéologues et d'autres chercheurs ont depuis prouvé l'existence d'autres sites préhistoriques de terrassement relevant de projets aussi complexes et sophistiqués, tels que Cahokia aux États-Unis.
