Evidence context

How this source is used

Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.

Investigation

Were churches built on special energy sites to harvest or redirect energy?

Qualifies

An original abstract reports 183 churches mean orientation 88°T and 62% between 80–100°T; this measures alignment, not an extractable geophysical energy output.

Qualifies

Peer-reviewed studies document non-random church orientation patterns and historical work documents continuity, older structures and site constraints, so meaningful siting is real even without an energy-grid mechanism.
