Current Aerial Investigation Projects
Here you can find an overview of research projects currently being carried out by our aerial investigation team.
The aerial survey will map and record new and known sites in the north part of Buckinghamshire, where large-scale strategic housing allocation has been proposed, along with significant transport infrastructure upgrades and environmental threats.
The project will contribute information derived from aerial sources to the Wendling Beck Exemplar Partnership, a landscape-scale nature restoration project delivering natural capital improvement, ecological enhancement and investment in ecosystem.
This well-preserved archaeological landscape with later prehistoric, Romano-British, medieval and post medieval remains is facing new challenges due to changes in farming practice, the national response to mitigating climate change and visitor recreation.
The Thanet Landscape Mapping Project takes as its starting point the exceptional significance of the Isle of Thanet, recording the distinctive archaeological heritage of this gateway region that provides a link between England and continental Europe.
The project will map and record new and previously unknown sites in the Cerne and Piddle Valleys of Dorset, an area that to date is significantly under-recorded and at heightened risk from agricultural intensification and climate change related threats.
The project seeks to enhance knowledge and understanding of the historic environment in an area that has seen relatively little archaeological investigation and for which there is currently a low density of recorded sites.
Using aerial images, this project will identify, map and record archaeological features to inform mitigations for future developments. Included are parts of the Ancholme valley, its spring line villages and the northern reach of the Lincolnshire Wolds.
The aerial survey will map and record new and known sites in Buckinghamshire’s Aylesbury Vale, where large-scale strategic housing allocation has been proposed, along with significant transport infrastructure upgrades and environmental threats.
