Doris Vickers
Doris Vickers (born 1980) is an Austrian archaeoastronomer and content manager for the Unesco Portal to the Heritage of Astronomy.[1]
She was a global co-ordinator of the Ancient Skies project, along with Ruediger Schulz.[2] The project began in 2006 aiming to create a knowledge base of human cultures and their knowledge of astronomy, with the vision "One Planet – One Mankind – One Sky – One Knowledgebase", and as of July 2016[update] is "currently transferring the complete project to a new environment".[3]
In February 2016 she appeared on BBC Radio 4's The Museum of Curiosity. Her hypothetical donation to this imaginary museum was a star clock.[4]
