  Prehistoric sanctuaries of Daunia date back several thousand years. During
the Neolithic and Bronze Age the farmers in that region dug hypogea and holes
whose characteristics suggest a ritual use. In the present note we summarize
the results of the astronomical analysis of the orientation of the row holes in
three different sites, and we point out the possible use of the setting of the
stars of Centaurus. An interesting archaeological confirmation of an
archaeoastronomical prediction is also reported.
