This year’s talk for the CBA’s Festival of Archaeology.

This year’s theme for the CBA’s Festival of Archaeology is Exploring Local Places. Discover the archaeology that is all around you by exploring the aerial photographs of your local area. On Thursday 22 July at 5pm, Medwyn Parry, expert on our aerial photograph archive, will demonstrate the incredible variety of detailed aerial views of Wales held by the Royal Commission. There will be examples of practical applications, and how you can make use of this amazing resource for your own research.
