Aerial Photography
Method
- under ideal conditions, aerial photography can identify signs of settlements through specific features in the growth of ripe corn or in deep tillage,
- archaeological features - pits, houses, graves, ditches, and alike - appear in corn as circles, squares, rectangles, or stripes of higher growth and darker colour; foundations of walls or buildings appear in lines of lower growth and lighter colour,
- archaeological features disrupted by tillage also show differences in colour (usually dark colour), in particular in spring and autumn,
- areas of heavy urbanism are rather problematic.
Motorway D47- aerial photographs of the entire construction area were taken repeatedly. In particular, large areas of corn fields were surveyed for specific features in growth, though other areas with unsuitable vegetation surface (urbanized areas, meadows) were documented as well, - main attention was paid to forest-free sections of the planned motorway, which is almost the entire route, - major part of the route is green showing no specific features during aerial photography, - sites with positive features were monitored and recorded repeatedly, - obtained photographic material was examined visually for subsoil anomalies. |
