Wings over Armenia
Aerial survey in a country with restricted overflying can be frustrating. Armenian and British archaeologists solved the problem by acquiring a two-person paramotor and photographing with a digital camera at 300m. Here are some of the first aerial pictures of the rich tapestry of Armenia's archaeology

An Iron Age ditched enclosure system at Limes Farm, Landbeach, Cambridgeshire
Although significant to societies at a local, regionaland national level for up to 6000 years, the prehistoriclandscape of Avebury, Wiltshire, was formallyattributed the accolade of being 'globally important'in November 1986. At this time the United NationsEducational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation(UNESCO) inscribed Avebury onto the growing listof World Heritage Sites (http://www.unesco.orglwhc), and along with England's most notorious pre…
Ridge and furrow survival and preservation
Subdivided strip fields were widespread over most of lowland England before enclosure. Where datable they seem to originate in the late Saxon period and their use survived into the 19th century in some places. In East Anglia and southeast England strips were usually ploughed flat, but in most of the Midlands they were cast up to form 'ridge and furrow'. This ridging technique was once used in a central band stretching from County Durham in the no…
Air photo interpretation and the Lincolnshire Fenland
An aerial archaeology training week, 15-22 June 1996, held near Siófok, Lake Balaton, Hungary
The end of the Cold War in 1989 prompted the opening of central European skies that had been closed to archaeological air photography for decades. The occasion of a summer school in 1996 provided the opportunity to record some results from Hungary
A further case for the preservation of earthwork ridge-and-furrow
Until modern cultivation invaded even the permanent pasture-land, the ubiquitous trace of medieval farming in the lowland English landscape was ridge-and-furrow. A record in themselves, the undulating slopes are now seen to act as a device to preserve older features underneath
Integration of air photo interpretation and field survey projects
Specialist interpretation and accurate mapping of aerial photographs can create a sound framework on which to base other forms of archaeological survey. This has become routine in many developer-funded assessments but has rarely happened on an extensive scale in Britain. It is proposed that there are historical reasons for this as well as there being present-day differences in interests of the principal funding bodies. Recent survey of the East A…

Interrupted Ditch Enclosures in Britain
Analyses have been directed towards providing an objective basis for the untested assumption that interrupted ditch enclosures, discovered in riverine situations by aerial reconnaissance, are related to the high-lying neolithic causewayed enclosures. The results of a series of attribute analyses appear to justify the unity of the enclosures, while at the same time suggesting a division into four geographical groups. Aerial photography has been us…
