Packed with examples of the photography it describes, this accessible book celebrates the role which flight and aerial photography have played in the development of archaeology and the identification and analysis of key sites in Britian. Beginning with balloonist adventurers, and pioneers of flight, it explores the parallel development of military reconaissance techniques and their usefulness to archaeologists, concentrating especially on the era between the two world wars when aerial archaeology really came of age.

This volume presents the rich, but under-utilised and in parts inaccessible, archival historic aerial imagery, traditional photographs and those captured from satellites, for the exploration and management of cultural heritage. An unparalleled resource, for archaeologists and all with an interest in landscapes, images spanning the second half of the 20th century provide an unrivalled means of documenting and understanding change and informing the study of the past. Case studies, written by leading experts in their fields, illustrate the applications of this imagery across a wide range of heritage issues, from prehistoric cultivation and settlement patterns, to the impact of recent landscape change. Contemporary environmental and land use issues are also dealt with, in a volume that will be of interest to archaeologists, historians, geographers and those in related disciplines.

Striking aerial views of war, and of the scarred landscapes of its aftermath are the focus of this unique and multidisciplinary book. For the first time, the history, significance, and technology of military aerial photography are brought together and explored by military historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists. This new approach opens the door to a modern reassessment of military aerial imagery, reveals the concepts and philosophies that guided their production and interpretation, and illustrates the complex interaction between humans and technology in creating and understanding the landscapes of conflict.

Not attempts to find prehistoric artifacts in the atmosphere, but the use of aerial photography to aid investigations on the ground, was the topic of the November 2000 NATO workshop in Lezno, Poland. The 35 papers cover whether lessons have been learned over the past 100 years, achievements toward understanding archaeological landscapes, opening up new landscapes, future technological applications, heritage management, and whether a meta-aerial archaeology is necessary to clarify the relationship between technology and philosophy. Included are 111 color plates, but no index. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
