Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the substantial contributions made by aerial techniques in uncovering archaeological sites and enriching our awareness of ancient civilizations. From their inception when Charles Lindbergh captured images of Chaco Canyon in 1929, aerial photographs have journeyed far beyond their role as mere documentation tools, advancing to become indispensable in the study of archaeology. The vast and often inhospitable nature of the Southwest region made it an ideal testing ground for aerial exploration. This volume sheds light on methods such as site survey, site identification, environmental mapping, and historical preservation, as they were innovated, refined, and deployed across the region. One particularly fascinating exposition is that of Chaco Canyon's intricate network of prehistoric roads, precisely mapped using data collected from aerial platforms. The book is organized to provide a comprehensive understanding of the archaeological techniques employed and their applications to the study of indigenous cultures. This book is a resounding testament to the profound impact this technology has had on our knowledge of the ancient civilizations of the Southwest, and a valuable resource that promises to inform and inspire archaeologists, historians, and heritage enthusiasts alike.
