Financial support
Researchers are encouraged to use the Aerial Photographic Archive for Archaeology in the Middle East (APAAME), established in 1978 under the patronage of Prince Hassan bin Talal of Jordan.
It consists of more than 48,000 photographs and several hundred maps for a dozen countries.
The vast majority of this material can be viewed online in our digital archive. Further information about the project, including our wider archaeological research tool throughout the Middle East, can be viewed at our blog.
Contents of the archive
- Most of the photographs were taken as part of the Aerial Archaeology in Jordon project.
- The archive also includes the Hunting Aerial Survey Diapositives (not available online).
- There are many other archives of Middle East countries in various locations also available.
Obtaining photographs
You can:
- browse, search and order photographs from the archive.
