Topi, gatti, pipistrelli e tappeti  Geomatica per la ricerca, prevenzione e ricognizione archeologica Alessandro Russell (representative) Aerial Archaeology Research Group Sicily Sub-Committee La geografia evade i suoi confini e invade il quotidiano I Sistemi Informativi Geografici: la provincia di nessuna disciplina Palermo, Mercoledì 18 ottobre
The International Aerial Archaeology Research Group Il Gruppo Internazionale di Ricerca in Archeologia Aerea  Il Gruppo Internazionale di Ricerca in Archeologia Aerea è una piattaforma per lo scambio di idee ed informazioni per tutti i ricercatori impegnati nella aerofoto-interpretazione, storia, archeologia e architettura del paesaggio, pianificazione territoriale, monitoraggio e mitigazione del rischio ambientale. Opera in Italia dal 2001 in virtù della abrogazione del Regio Decreto XVIII – 19 Luglio 1939 in materia di ripresa e diffusione di materiale aero-cinefotografico .
The Archaeological Palimpsest  Persian carpet O.G.S. Crawford jokingly thought of the traditional field archaeologist as Platonically busy in the search for the particulars, while his/her aerial colleagues could ponder upon universal values.  The ones would be looking through the fibres of a Persian carpet, while the others admire the arabesques .

Marks of The Roman centuriazione Plan of Imola Leonardo D. V. 1502 Part I – the past Leonardo (1558)
Part I – the past Experiments and stationarism (1858-1874) Arago – 1839 Daguerrotype – new mapping  Nadar – 1858 “ What (he) had really done was to change the level of art to the level of science and utility, from the artistic drawing to work tool”  King/Samuel – 1860 Boston – earliest picture Glaisher – 1862 London from 20,000 feet Lowe/Lincoln - 1863 Spy balloons in the American Civil War
Part I – the past Pignoni /Nadar and camera shake  Nadar – 1875 Camera shake and steam glyders Lilienthal -1884 Glyder Eddy, Batut, Archibald – 1880s Kites Jennings - 1909 ‘ The chief difficulties arise from the tendency to over-exposure; vibration of the camera caused by wind or movement; and atmospheric disturbances not always perceived by the eye but plainly apparent in the negative’ ‘ camera shake may be limited by the rigidity of the camera and of its parts.’
Part I – the past Earliest archaeological applications Stolze - 1874 Persepolis survey Boni - 1899 ‘ I have been on the Military Engineers‟ balloon thrice, 400 mt above the Palatine Hill and the  Forum Romanum, I have taken a dozen exposures and sketched the plans of monuments and views […] The Coliseum, and Constantine’s Basilica looked like wooden models!’ McKenzie – 1900 Stonehenge 1 Boni- Vaglieri – 1900-1912 Ostia and Pompeii Capper – 1907 Stonehenge 2
Part I – the past 1909-12: The Quantum  Leap, the Wrights and Farman planes
Part I – the past 1911-1914: Wellcome’s kites & young Crawford  Wellcome - 1911 The trolley kite had thus freed archaeologists of their greatest constraint: the immobility of hot-air balloons. Conversely, it provided the exploratory potential for small-scale surveys, anticipating the role of motor vectors. Thus, Wellcome’ kites could take two types of pictures:  1. verticals, to obtain plans, as had already been the case with Boni and Vaglieri ;  2. obliques, to gain an overall view of the landscape

Part I – Verticalism AARG – NATO 2000 Workshop ‘ In Europe there is a great imbalance in the results of aerial archaeology, with the countries of the United Kingdom leading the way in terms of reconnaissance, archiving, mapping, and publication (…) The limitations to opening up new landscapes are the administrative limitations as in Romania, Greece, Spain and Bulgaria’
Foggia Training School - 2003 1. Low altitude (100-400m)/ instantaneous high res 2. Pics taken in best periods for spotting marks 3. Cheap sorties 4. High response: 1000 sites in 75 hours 5. Flexible thanks to  pilot/archaeologist synergy  Part II – AARG Training Schools Foggia

Over the last three seasons it has become apparent that archaeological  crop, soil, and damp marks are rarer instances in Sicily  than one might wish.  That is hardly surprising given the  high transpiration rates  and consequently very  narrow visibility windows  (seven to ten days at the end of May for crop marks).  Such types of marks are  best viewed on well drained plains ,  yet only 14% of the Island lies on flat land . Furthermore, the  four largest plains  (Mazara, Gela, Palermo, Catania)  are extensively covered with vineyards and citrus groves . In both cases, ground visibility is close to zero for citrus are  evergreen large-leaf trees , planted closely together to maximise space and revenue, whereas vines are lush green from April until the September harvest. What is more,  neither will develop growth stress for they are fully irrigated.   The dominant morphology in Sicily is  rather steep land  (61% of the island is hilly, i.e. 200-800 m; 24% is mountainous, i.e. over 800 m). Site natural erosion, however, is relatively limited . So we had to look for a hilly research universe, the Province of Enna was just right. Part II – AARG Sicily Independent trials - Conclusions

  • 51. Over the last three seasons it has become apparent that archaeological crop, soil, and damp marks are rarer instances in Sicily than one might wish. That is hardly surprising given the high transpiration rates and consequently very narrow visibility windows (seven to ten days at the end of May for crop marks). Such types of marks are best viewed on well drained plains , yet only 14% of the Island lies on flat land . Furthermore, the four largest plains (Mazara, Gela, Palermo, Catania) are extensively covered with vineyards and citrus groves . In both cases, ground visibility is close to zero for citrus are evergreen large-leaf trees , planted closely together to maximise space and revenue, whereas vines are lush green from April until the September harvest. What is more, neither will develop growth stress for they are fully irrigated. The dominant morphology in Sicily is rather steep land (61% of the island is hilly, i.e. 200-800 m; 24% is mountainous, i.e. over 800 m). Site natural erosion, however, is relatively limited . So we had to look for a hilly research universe, the Province of Enna was just right. Part II – AARG Sicily Independent trials - Conclusions
