		In the second photo (20K), an aerial view of the same location, the true arrangement of the stones is revealed.
		And just as the astronomer focuses his telescope on a star by moving the lenses closer together or farther apart, the aerial archaeologist in an airplane focuses his view of the ground (and whatever he is looking at on it) by moving himself closer to or farther away from it (flying higher or lower).

	Archaeology
		Archaeology (or archeology) is the scientific study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of material remains, including architecture, artifacts, biofacts, human remains, and landscapes.
		The next major figure in the development of archaeology in the UK was Mortimer Wheeler, whose highly disciplined approach to excavation and systematic coverage of much of the country in the 1920s and 1930s brought the science on swiftly.
		It was now possible to study archaeology as a subject in universities and even schools, and by the end of the 20th century nearly all professional archaeologists, at least in developed countries, were graduates.

		Archaeology or archeology ( American English) is the study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of material remains, including architecture, artefacts, biofacts, human remains, and landscapes.
		Archaeology is an approach to understanding lost cultures and the mute aspects of human history, without a cut-off date: in England, archaeologists have uncovered the long-lost layouts of medieval villages abandoned after the crises of the 14th century and the equally lost layouts of 17th century parterre gardens swept away by a change in fashion.
		During the 20th century, the development of urban archaeology and then rescue archaeology have been important factors, as has the development of archaeological science, which has greatly increased the amount of data that it is possible to obtain.

	Aerial archaeology in Bohemia at the turn of the twentieth century: The integration of landscape studies and ...
		Principal characteristics of landscape archaeology and aerial photography in the introductionary part are followed by brief comparison of different level of aerial archaeology in western and eastern Europe ten years ago - when this discipline started to be effectively applied by countries once hidden beyond the Iron Curtain – and today.
		Aerial archaeology ’s aim is to perform reconnaissance of landscapes (large spatial units) from bird ’s eye view, to record and archive new data, to make photographic documentation of buried (or semi-buried) and standing monuments of cultural landscape, and to process the data for further application in both theoretical work and heritage management (protection).
		The results of continuous aerial reconnaissance contribute decisively to the solution of principal problems on the evolution of settlement forms and structures in prehistoric Bohemia, and – at the same time – are used for photographic documentation and heritage protection throughout the country.
