Occasional Publication No. 3
Remote Sensing for Archaeological Heritage Management

Remote sensing is one of the main foundations of archaeological data, under pinning knowledge and understanding of the historic environment. The volume, arising from a symposium organised by the Europae Archaeologiae Consilium (EAC) and the Aerial Archaeology Research Group (AARG), provides up to date expert statements on the methodologies, achievements and potential of remote sensing with a particular focus on archaeological heritage management.

Occasional Publication No. 2
Landscapes through the lens

This volume presents the rich, but under-utilised, archives of aerial imagery for the exploration and management of cultural heritage and historic environment. A remarkable resource for archaeologists and all with an interest in landscapes, traditional aerial photographs and satellite 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 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.
