The four seasons: advantages of all year round cyclic surveys in aerial archaeology

Aerial archaeology, as any other part of archaeology, has own set of procedures how to obtain optimal results. One of most important parameters is time of the year when survey is done. It is usually considered that optimal timing for survey is a time when the cereal crops ripens and change color from green to yellow. That is period of late spring until beginning of the summer, during May and June. Color contrasts are among highest in all year scale, and position of the Sun is highest above horizon. Size of financial resources also play an important role in the planning of research, often restricts continuous flying over the year and that is also cause for limiting survey on this time of the year only.
