Unlock the power of air-and-ground images to locate, map, and understand ancient sites. This guide explains how aerial and terrestrial photography helps archaeologists discover and preserve historic landscapes, using clear, practical techniques.

Practical guidance on equipment, camera choice, and stereo viewing is included to help fieldwork run smoothly and cost-effectively.
