Abstract
Extensive landscape developments in the Lower Danube region over the second half of the twentieth century have resulted in the loss of numerous archaeological features before appropriate rescue and recording work could be performed. The discovery of a number of historical aerial photographs in one of the uncatalogued sections of The Aerial Reconnaissance Archive has enabled the recovery of a range of landscape features of various dates in the Galaţi area on the Lower Danube even after their destruction, including unparalleled elements of the Roman frontier defences. This chapter considers the way in which the historical context of acquisition of these photographs impacts on their quality and quantity and how such contextual information can be used to help identify imagery in sections of the TARA archive which presently lack finding aids.
