Synopsis
Aerial photography can give the archaeologist unique information about the development of a particular landscape over the centuries. Since the inception of Channel 4's Time Team, Mick Aston has been taking thousands of aerial photographs and a selection of these form the basis of the present book. After a brief introduction to the history of aerial photography and to its main features (cropmarks, parchmarks, earthworks, soil marks, patterns), he uses 25 case studies both to cover the full chronological span, from prehistory and Roman times to the Middle Ages and on to Industrial Britain, and to illustrate the central themes of settlement, land use, communications, ritual and religious sites, military and defense sites, and industrial landscapes.

From the Publisher
Since the first popular Time Team program was broadcast, its chief archaeologist, Mick Aston, has been taking aerial photographs of the English landscape. The best of these—nearly 250—are presented here to provide a unique insight into understanding the history of England. Mick’s subjects range from prehistoric Cheddar Gorge and Stonehenge to Hadrian’s Wall and other key Roman sites, through medieval towns, such as Winchester and York, as well as deserted medieval villages, to country houses such as Blenheim and Badminton.
Mick Aston is Professor of Landscape History at the University of Bristol, and Chief Archaeologist on Channel 4’s Time Team.
