Hi Gaye,
  -Sounds like you did alot better in Western Australia than we did in the
USA!
  -We used aerial shots for K. Kenyon's famous "3 trenches at Jericho" ~ and
I thought we would *never* find them! (...the 3 trenches!)
  Of course, we are the ones doing the arch. DVDs-- not the archaeologists
who did the survey work. But, we had to work via email over and over again
to get it right. The archaeologists could look at those aerial photographs
and pinpoint exactly what we should be seeing-- but we couldn't make any
sense out of it! We stayed with it until we got it right, because we
certainly wanted it correct for the DVDs, but I don't think I would want to
do the aerial photo-route ever again for finding historic (now hysteric!)
locations!
  You are a better man than me~ LOL!

Subject: useing aerial photographs as a survey tool


I just watched the very entaining video 'The Shovel Bum's Lot' however the
transact and shovel testing method described to find sites had me wondering
how much American archaeologists used aerial photograph analysis to find
sites, particularly historic sites?
