Both the techniques and the scope of air-photography made great
advances during the twentieth century. As a result, a mass of
material is available to the archaeologist and the local historian.
First published in 1982, this was the first comprehensive textbook
to explain in detail how to identify archaeological and historical
sites from the air. Unavailable for more than ten years, this new
edition will be widely welcomed - not least for the addition of a
section of colour photographs. Accurate interpretation requires an
understanding of the whole landscape. Archaeological sites are not
always easily distinguished from geological features or from those
produced by agriculture or by industrial, modern military or
sporting activities. A wide selection of both archaeological and
non-archaeological material is therefore illustrated in the book's
150 air-photographs. Close attention is paid to the nature of the
physical remains in the ground and to the processes whereby they
can appear on air-photographs. This requires an understanding of
these processes - from the turning of the soil to the printing of
the photograph. Throughout, the perils of misidentification receive
as much consideration as the principles of correct interpretation.
The types of site covered in the book are those of the British
Isles but the techniques are applicable throughout continental
Europe and beyond.
