photographs
provide relatively high spatial resolution snapshots of the earth’s surface as it was in the
1960s and early 1970s. The archaeological potential of the photographs was quickly
recognised (Kennedy 1998) and since then they have been used to great effect in areas where
there is a shortage of conventional aerial photographs such as in Asia Minor and the Middle
East (Fowler 2004a).
Whilst an increasing number of CORONA photographs are now available for download free
of charge from the USGS EarthExplorer website (http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/) as a result of
a programme of digitisation of the original film archive, the coverage footprints of the
individual images can have significant errors and consequently selecting the correct image for
download or purchase can be somewhat hit and miss. Thankfully, the Center for Advanced
Spatial Technologies at the University of Arkansas has developed methods for the efficient
orthorectification of CORONA imagery and now provides free public access to their imagery
database covering the Middle East and surrounding areas for non-commercial use.
Known as the CORONA Atlas of the Middle East and funded by grants from the US National
Endowment for the Humanities and the American Council of Learned Societies, the Beta
version of the website can be accessed at http://corona.cast.uark.edu/index.html (Figure 1).
