Archaeology from Historical Aerial and Satellite Archives by William S. Hanson, Ioana A. OlteanEnglish | PDF | 2013 | 315 Pages | ISBN : 1461445043 | 16.7 MB
Major international historical archives of declassified military reconnaissance photographs and satellite images, combined with a range of national collections of vertical photographs, 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 or more ago, before the destructive impact of intensive land use and development. Millions of such images are held in archives around the world, yet their research potential goes largely untapped.
