Dear Sarah, There is a German book : Die Sonnenuhr des Augustus Edmund Buchner. ISBN 3-8053-0430-7 1982. It also is a report of the excavations in 1980/1981 done by Buchner. Have in mind that the picture in his book, which have been published in several magazins and so on, have the wrong lines for the "daylight triangle". Buchner drew curved lines, but they must be straight. A picture with straight lines can be found in Harold E. Brandmaier's book A sundial for your garden 1995 page 2-10 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 96-96045 Fer de Vries Netherlands.
