The variables involved in thermally delineating archaeological residues can be numerous, complex and interdependent. However, in practice, I have made some simple observations over the years here in the UK.

Aerial Thermal Imaging of Archaeological Residues is Not All About Thermal Inertia.

December 2018

John Wells

Why does archaeological aerial thermography often produce no useful data, especially in temperate climates? There are two common mistakes: 1. Expecting appropriate conditions to correspond to the timing of a site visit. 2. Appreciating that optimal conditions are critically dependant on different variables but not appreciating which is the appropriate variable(s) on which to base the ...

July 2019

John Wells

Crop marks and parching are indirect ways of identifying the location of archaeological residues and a dry summer last year led to a veritable feeding frenzy in the UK. The thermal delineation of archaeological residues via evapotranspiration/thermal amplification* is also indirect and for decades has been ignored by many for that very reason......................
