Scientific paper

In August 2002 the Astronomical Group of the Research Society "Vladimir Mandić-Manda" from Valjevo performed ethnoastronomical investigations in the Zavojsko Jezero area near Pirot. The present paper deals with the common beliefs of the regional people concerning astronomical phenomena. The informations were obtained by interviewing elderly people in this, mainly rural, area. The obtained results are grouped according to a few key subjects (calendar, Moon, Sun, Milky Way, stars and constellations, world systems) and they are commented as much as possible. The present study is a continuation of the ethnoastronomical studies realised by this Group from 1997 on and forms a part of the project "Ethnoastronomical Research in Serbia" and "History of Astronomy among Serbs".
