ArchNet ArchNet, published by lhomas Plunkett and Jonathan Lizee, University of Connecticut, is the first address for archaeologists. It is a Virtual Library for Archaeology and therefore, its main purpose is to provide archaeological @. You can search its database or browse through the sites listed by subject area or by geographical region. For some reasons, they don't have the subject "Prospection". 'nerefore, you will find aerial archaeological or geophysical applications under several Werent subjects (for example Mapping and GIS, Geoarchaeology ... ). here is also a EM of featured sites, which are homepages, "that ... make a significant contribution to the way in which the World Wide Web is used by archaeologists for research, teaching, and publication".
Bradford Archaeological Prospection Resources One of the best listings of resources relevant to archaeological prospection. It is maintained by Amffi Schmidt, Dept. Of Archaeological Sciences, University of Bradford. Most of the links are concerned with geophysics and geophysical prospection reports (mostly from the UK). The fig of homepages containing aerial archaeological material is much shorter (which is of course due to the fact, that there are not very many aerial archaeological resources at the YAM).
Archeo Prospections - Vienna Archeo Prospections is an interdisciplinary co-operation between archaeologists, geophysicists and computer scientists. Involved are the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics, Hohe Warte Vienna, the Aerial Archive at the Institute for Prehistory of the University of Vienna, the Department of Pattern Recognition and Image Processing at the Vienna University of Technology and IDEA- The site shows basics of geomagnetic prospection, including data acquisition, data processing, archaeological interpretation and 3D modelling out of geomagnetic data. Additionally, most of the magnetically prospected sites from Austria can be accessed through a clickable map. The site is partly in German language.
The Aerial Archive - Aerial Archaeology in Austria This site, which is maintained by myself tries to give an introduction to aerial archaeology, its methods, aims and applications. Additionally, our work at the aerial archive - taidng aerial photographs, archiving, interpretation and photogrammetrical analysis - is described. There are several photographs from Austrian archaeological sites. This homepage is designed for the archaeologist as well as for the public. Therefore, it contains also basic stuff.
Aerial Photographs of Dorset Here, you can find aerial photographs of mainly archaeological sites of the area of Dorset. Among these are Shaftesbury, Challbury 1Wort and the Ceme Giant. lle photographs are complemented by informative texts.
SPOT Coverage of the UK MMAS provides an on-line SPOT satellite data service. You can get information on the SPOT programme, data structure etc. A nice feature is the chckable map of the UK, where you can choose your region of interest and then get a zoomed picture with all of the SPOT coverage. After selection, the SPOT image is shown on your screen. The SPOT satellite data are available for non-commercial purposes to registered users at academic institutions possessing a site licence. How to get the ficence, is explained there.
Aerial Photographic Archive for Archaeology from the Middle East David Kennedy from Australia has published this page. lle archive contains over 5000 photographs. lle Page gives brief information on the "Remote Sensing for Archaeology in the Middle East Project", which is funded since 1991 by the Austr@ Research Council. About 4000 photographs from 1953 were e@ed and some 20,000 sites were identified on them and the details transcribed on transparent overlays at 1:25,000. Some nice vertical and oblique photographs are shown and a fig of publications concerning this project is added.
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory A @ of airborne radar images is shown here. All of them were made over famous archaeological sites from China and the near east. You can look at them and get them via Intemet even in fidl resolution (up to IS Megabyte(!) per image - will certainly try your telephone bill). A detailed technical and archaeological discussion is provided with each image.
The Aerial Archaeology Research Group (AARG) The Aerial Archaeology Research Group (AARG) provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and information for all those actively involved in aerial photography, photo interpretation, field archaeology and landscape history.
New Zealand Aerial Archaeology. Clickable map with lots of aerial photographs from Kevin Jones.
The Stone Cricle Webring. "...a group of more than 100 sites dealing with dolmens, menhirs, barrows, burial mounds and theories varying from the informed to the fanciful... and straight on till morning" - Michael Pollak, A Web Surfer's Guide to Ancient British Past, The New York Times March 25, 1999.
