The Aerial Archaeology in Jordan project has completed its 28th season of aerial reconnaissance with two flights in March and November.  Working in partnership with archaeologists and researchers, we flew further east in the badia than ever before; thanks to targets supplied by Dr Alexander Wasse.

The sites included prehistoric features as well as remnants from the Air Mail route, from Cairo to Baghdad, over 100 years ago. We were also able to examine sites that had been suggested by a Jordanian archaeologist, Ahmad Alghizawat, where early Islamic inscriptions had been found. 

This November we flew 8.2 hours and took about 3,000 images.  Cataloguing has begun and soon the November imagery will be uploaded to our Flickr archive. The March imagery is available here. 

We are immensely grateful to CBRL our hosts when in Jordan, the Royal Jordanian Force for the incredible support, especially in these incredibly difficult times.  Thank you to our funders: the Beatrice de Cardi Fund, of the Society of Antiquaries of London.
