For over a century aerial archaeology has been in the vanguard of
archaeological discovery and recording. Thanks to a unique twenty year
programme of aerial reconnaissance in Jordan combined with the growing
availability of high-resolution satellite imagery we can now thickly
‘populate’ with often novel archaeological sites one of the most
inhospitable landscapes in the world – ‘Arabia’. Bio: David
Kennedy has taught at UWA since 1990 after 12 years at the University of
Sheffield. His principal research interests are the Roman Near East and
Aerial Archaeology. He has been engaged in a programme of Aerial
Archaeology in Jordan since 1997, the only such programme outside
Europe. He is currently working on a book, ‘East of Jordan’ in the
Nineteenth Century: Travel and Travellers in North-Western Jordan.
