“…The fact that this approach is not restricted to conventional sites has been illustrated by several scholars, who used similar unmanned lighter-than-air constructions to map underwater remains (e.g. Whittlesey, 1970Whittlesey, , 1974Jameson, 1976;Myers and Myers, 1985).…”

During the past 100 years, various devices have been developed and applied in order to acquire archaeologically usefulaerialimagery fromlow altitudes (e.g. balloons, kites, poles).Thispaper introduces Helikiteaerialphotography (HAP), a new form ofcloserange aerialphotography suitable for site or defined area photography, based on a camera suspended from a Helikite: a combination of both a helium balloon and kite wings. By largely overcoming the drawbacks of conventional kite-and balloon-based photography,HAPallows foravery versatile, remotely controlled approach to low-altitude aerial photography (LAAP). In addition to a detailed outline of the whole HAP system, its working procedure and possible improvements, some of the resulting imagery is shown to demonstrate the usefulness of HAP for several archaeological applications.

“…However, rather than using two or more separate lifting platforms (e.g. Whittlesey, 1968Whittlesey, , 1974Aber, 2004;Ahmet, 2004;Bauman et al, 2005;Wolf, 2006), a Helikite can be used.…”

Since the beginning of aerial photography, researchers have used all kinds of devices ranging from pigeons, kites, poles and balloons to rockets in order to take cameras aloft and remotely gather aerial data needed for a combination of research goals.To date, many of these unmanned devices are still used, mainly to gather archaeologically relevant information from relatively low altitudes, enabling so-called low-altitude aerial photography (LAAP). Besides providing a concise overview of the unmanned LAAP platforms commonly used in archaeological research, this paper considers the drawbacks and advantages of every device and provides an extensive reference list.
