It's hard to answer, because the modern science of astronomy blends almost imperceptibly into the ancient pseudoscience of Astrology, and that extends back into prehistory. There's not really a date at which you could draw a line and say "nothing before this was astronomy" ... astrologers did do a fair amount of observing and cataloging the heavens, just as astronomers would later do.
