Abstract
Some thoughts on field archaeology
D R Wilson
7 - 9
Highlights the absence of visible pre-medieval field boundaries in lowland zones: it is likely there were fields in these areas but that their boundaries were insubstantial and have not survived.
Air photography and sites and monuments records: some observations
N A R Lang
10 - 13
Prompted by complaints in AARGnews 4 about a natural feature recorded as an archaeological site in the Cambridge SMR (see 93/928), a system is suggested for usefully maintaining records of ambiguous features on air photographs which are later identified as non-antiquities. The potential of the SMR as a database for air photographs is also explored.
Cropmark discoveries in the River Barrow valley, Ireland 1989--1991
Gillian F Barrett
21 - 28
The results of around ninety hours' reconnaissance are summarised, with the computerised mapping of cropmark plans, morphological assessment and an approach towards reconstructing the early landscape described. Examples are drawn from a transect of the River Barrow which proved the most productive study area. The project has highlighted the great potential of aerial reconnaissance for south-east Ireland and attention is drawn to the necessity of developing adequately funded regional survey programmes, maintaining SMR records and monitoring field archaeology.
Aerial archaeology in Shetland: the South Nesting palaeolandscape project
Val Turner
Chris Cox
29 - 32
The project was designed to investigate the prehistoric landscape of the area and establish the role and function of burnt mounds within that landscape. A survey of the area of modern cultivation revealed a crofting landscape with identifiable prehistoric monuments, for which it was felt that aerial photography would provide a more comprehensive overview. Interpretation and mapping from existing photographs produced a basis for fieldwork to build on and demonstrated the need for a systematic and extensive programme of aerial photography in Shetland.
