Η ξηρασία στην Ελβετία αποκάλυψε αρχαία Ρωμαϊκή πόλη

Cropmarks still looking great on the ground in University Park.

Satellite imagery covering covering various areas of the UK during the dry summer is already going up on Google Earth. Already a few previously undocumented archaeological sites are visible, inc. this triple-ditched (IA/RB) enclosure in Shropshire. Source: Google; Airbus.

In this case I'm making custom jackets for video game reprocases, and just felt like going all out on the print template.
I was mostly able to make one from scratch, so I might be fine (Don't have access to program outside my old PSe7)

I can rarely resist a bit of pedantry - cropmarks can be seen from any suitable vantage point, including from slightly higher ground. It's just that their shape/form is better appreciated from the air. Mapping cropmarks began before flight.

Climate change is causing a weird one for archaeology. Amazing lost sites and ancient artifacts are appearing around the world, while countless sites are at risk of destruction
Cropmarks, melting glaciers, submerged cities, wildfires, coastlines, and more

I wonder whether you have ever considered doing a field with cropmarks? @drtobydriver.bsky.social has had some great recent results!

In any dry summer a range of archaeological cropmarks are visible in Oxford's University Park, but are particularly clear following our recent heatwaves including a cluster of small pit marks at the W end of this ring ditch south of the cricket nets. @unioxarchaeology.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk

Good coverage of one beneficial effect of the current #Heatwave, the opportunity to observe cropmarks.
The reference to the threat to newly identified sites of "irresponsible metal detecting" is interesting, although I would have dropped the word irresponsible.

Probably the only good thing about the heatwave is that it made buried walls and ditches show as cropmarks, revealing long‑hidden archaeological sites across Wales.

Heatwave conditions have revealed lost archaeological sites across Wales. Our aerial archaeologist, Dr Toby Driver, has been busy recording them from the air. Hear more on Post Prynhawn on BBC Radio Cymru, where Public Engagement Officer Bethan Hopkins-Williams discusses them with Alun Thomas.

I was over Llandyssil - Monty - Welshpool yesterday afternoon indeed. Super dry through there. Extensive cropmarks of the Roman fort at Forden Gaer
