| Summary: | Airborne surveying methods like aerial archaeology or Airborne Laser Scanning/LiDAR have become some of the main sources of information for landscape archaeology during the last 3 or 4 decades. The expert knowledge and the experience adopting the data derived from these sources are not evenly distributed in Europe (or beyond). That is why the EU funded project ArchaeoLandscapes Europe (ArcLand, http://www.archaeolandscapes.eu) involves so far 71 institutions to collaborate on making this knowledge available all over Europe, not only for archaeological professionals but also for the wider general public. The Department of Archaeology of the Janus Pannonius Museum in Pecs is one of the very active though rather small institutions within the ArcLand partnership. The department has already organized a field school, an exhibition, supplied ArcLand publications with material and provided very useful contributions to the ArcLand travelling exhibition "Traces of the Past" (first launched in Dublin in May 2013). This volume reflects the high standard of work the Janus Pannonius Museum has carried out in recent years to enhance our understanding of the landscapes and the history around Pecs, to share this knowledge and their enthusiasm for past landscapes with everyone in Hungary and beyond, following the spirit of a pan-European project like ArcLand.-- |
