Abstract
Some results of sky simulations for the Palaeolithic epoch regarding stars and constellations are presented. A conservative estimate of the precision of the computed stellar coordinates is several arcminutes. Possible practical applications of such simulations should be seen in the context of collaborations among humanistic and scientific disciplines in the field of prehistoric archaeology.

We were recently informed about the paper by Vondrak et al. (2011), where both trigonometric and polynomial expressions have been used.
