Kwok_2004_Studying the Transit of the Sun Using Shadows
This article describes how to accurately determine the time of the Sun’s transit and the north-south direction by observing a stick’s shadows. The same observations can be used to determine the latitude and longitude of the location of the observation. Calculating the latitude and longitude is particularly simple for certain dates.
