Historical archives of vertical photographs and satellite images
acquired for other purposes (mainly declassified military
reconnaissance) offer considerable potential for archaeological and
historical landscape research. They provide a unique insight into
the character of the landscape as it was over half a century ago,
before the destructive impact of later 20th century development and
intensive land use. They provide a high quality photographic record
not merely of the landscape at that time, but offer the prospect of
the better survival of remains reflecting its earlier history,
whether manifest as earthworks, cropmarks or soilmarks. These
various sources of imagery also provide an opportunity to examine
from the air areas of Europe and beyond whose skies are still not
open to traditional archaeological aerial reconnaissance. Tens of
millions of such images are held in archives around the world, but
their research potential goes very largely untapped. A primary aim
of this volume is to draw to wider attention the existence, scope
and potential access to historical archival aerial and satellite
photographs, in order to encourage their use in a range of
archaeological and landscape research. By drawing attention to this
massive archival resource, providing examples of its successful
application to archaeological/landscape questions, and offering
advice how to access and utilise the resource, the volume seeks to
bring this material to wider attention, demonstrate its huge
potential for archaeology, encourage its further use and stimulate
a new approach to archaeological survey and the study of landscape
evolution internationally.
