Abstract
Aerial photography -- present techniques and future aspirations
Chris Cox
8 - 12
Observes the lack of formal training in how to take `good' aerial photographs that meet the needs of the photographic interpreter. These needs are summarised as: image clarity; suitable viewpoint; complete site coverage; inclusion of fixed points for mapping; detailed shots of small or complex features; views of the landscape context; overlapping images to facilitate stereo viewing; and verticality.
AARG 1993 -- oblique aerial photography -- cameras
Anthony Crawshaw
13 - 17
Describes and compares the capabilities of different types of apparatus required for this kind of work.
Tiptoe through the cropmarks, squelch across the Fens -- but what next..?
Rog Palmer
19 - 23
Begins with a discussion of some of the more vague terminology used for describing features identified on aerial photographs. Words like `cropmark' -- used indiscriminately and without qualification -- can give rise to spurious archaeological interpretations. The identification of water management channels associated with Fenland roddons is given as an example of how archaeological investigation on the surface can help interpretation of aerial photographs.
`Aerial archaeology'. What?
Rog Palmer
27 - 29
A philosophical contemplation of the relationship between archaeology and aerial photography, considering the organisational divergence, both at project level and within national bodies such as EH and RCHME.
3--D still video images
Anthony Crawshaw
Briefly describes new polarising equipment for use with a PC, giving addresses for further information.
Wazzat? Number 2 -- not the answer!
Anthony Crawshaw
Following a hunch that a series of parallel cropmarks may evince a medieval tenterfield (where textiles were bleached by exposure to the sun), the cloth-finishing process is described. This interpretation of the cropmark is not confirmed.
