Kvamme and Prasad S. Thenkabail Received: 24 August 2016; Accepted: 26 October 2016; Published: 4 November 2016 Abstract: Aerial reconnaissance continues to be a vital tool for landscape-oriented archaeological research. Although a variety of remote sensing platforms operate within the earth’s atmosphere, the majority of aerial archaeological information is still derived from oblique photographs collected during observer-directed reconnaissance flights, a prospection approach which has dominated archaeological aerial survey for the past century. The resulting highly biased imagery is generally catalogued in sub-optimal (spatial) databases, if at all, after which a small selection of images is orthorectified and interpreted. For decades, this has been the standard approach. Although many innovations, including digital cameras, inertial units, photogrammetry and computer vision algorithms, geographic(al) information systems and computing power have emerged, their potential has not yet been fully exploited in order to re-invent

  • E Archaeology in Practice
    Edited by by Edited Archaeology in Practice Edited by Jane Balme Balme and Paterson “This comprehensive, instructive, and user-friendly guide assembles the work of leading and Alistair Paterson experts to fill a key niche in archaeological analysis. It will prove an invaluable aid to both students and teachers.” Claire Smith, President, World Archaeological Congress “Moving beyond theoretical debates that began in the 1960s, this book shows how scientifically-grounded archaeological analysis can solve problems encountered in the field and laboratory directly and convincingly. Bravo!” Richard Gould, Brown University Archaeology in Practice Archaeology in Practice: A Student Guide to Archaeological Analyses offers to students on archaeology laboratory courses a detailed and invaluable how-to manual of archaeological methods. Written by specialists in material analyses, whose expertise represents a broad geographical range, Archaeology in Practice provides insight into the breadth of modern archaeology. Each chapter is organized either by material types, such as animal bones, ceramics, stone artifacts, and documentary sources, or by themes, such as dating, ethics, and report writing. Archaeology in Practice is written in a style that is accessible to students, and each chapter is amply referenced to provide readers with a guide to further resources Archaeology on particular techniques and their applications. In addition, the book is enlivened and illustrated by boxed case studies throughout the main text. The editors Jane Balme is Senior

Academic Editors: Kenneth L. Kvamme, Rosa Lasaponara and Prasad S. Thenkabail Received: 8 January 2016; Accepted: 24 February 2016; Published: 5 March 2016 Abstract: The main purpose of any aerial photo archive is to allow quick access to images based on content and location. Therefore, next to a description of technical parameters and depicted content, georeferencing of every image is of vital importance. This can be done either by identifying the main photographed object (georeferencing of the image content) or by mapping the center point and/or the outline of the image footprint. The paper proposes a new image archiving workflow. The new pipeline is based on the parameters that are logged by a commercial, but cost-effective GNSS/IMU solution and processed with in-house-developed software.
