N2  - Aerial archaeology is one of the major sources of information for landscapes archaeologists, seeking for new sites and for the understanding of past and present landscapes as a result of human-environment interaction. The volume gives a broad overview about the history, the basic concepts and techniques of aerial photography for archaeological purposes. It describes the way valuable information is derived from aerial images and how this is used for mapping and interpretation. Numerous examples from fieldwork richly illustrate these aspects. But many of the photos shown in this book do not simply illustrate the text, many of them also are eye-catching artworks which show fascinating landscapes in a way that only the view from above can provide!



This book, originally published 2005 in Italian ("In Volo nel Passato: aerofotografia e cartografia archeologica") was inspired by the work of some of the leading European aerial archaeologists who met in Siena 2001 to share their knowledge with students and young researchers in an aerial archaeology training school. Published by the Aerial Archaeology Research Group (Occasional Publication No 4) in partnership with the ?ArchaeoLandscapes Europe (ArcLand) Project of the Culture 2007-2013 Programme of the European Union.
