Description:In the past fifty years the scope and promise of archaeology have been continuously enriched by twentieth-century technology, in particular the development of aerial photography. In the Americas its pioneer was Charles Lindbergh; in Syria, Pere Antoine Poidebard, a Jesuit priest; in England, O.G.S. Crawford (who once compared the revolutionary role of the air view in archaeology to that of the telescope in astronomy).With the accidental discovery of aerial archaeology during World War I archaeologists took enthusiastically to the air, and since that time results have been nothing short of phenomenal. Rediscovered frontier outposts of the Roman Empire; sumptuous Etruscan tombs; ancient field systems and road nets; Neolithic settlements and hill forts; lost medieval villages; ceremonial centers and giant sand drawings in the Americas; even Spina, and entire city buried beneath the silt of the Po--thanks to aerial archaeology, all have come to light in the years since World War I. For the first time in English, Leo Deuel now tells the full story of this exciting new field.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
