Aerial photography as a tool for the archaeological research


The remains of the Via Egnatia between Amphipolis and Philippoi in Greece were found using aerial photos of the region.

Four researchers of the Department of Cadastre, Photogrammetry and Cartography, Aristotles University of Thessaloniki, Greece, found buried archaeological remains with the aid of the Pan-sharpened (fused) image Quickbird-2.
