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.<BR><BR>The Aerial Archaeology Research Group is an international forum for all involved in aerial photography, space and airborne remote sensing, photo interpretation and mapping, archive research, field archaeology and landscape history.
