Full text: Transactions of the Symposium on Photo Interpretation

The corresponding members will be directly responsible for submitting a 
report from their own country to other corresponding members every 6 
months, beginning 1st. January, 1963. 
The corresponding members will further be responsible for translation, 
duplication and dissemination of these reports and papers to members of 
the Working Group in their own countries. 
The corresponding members are further charged with the following duties: 
a. To acquaint Planning Authorities in the individual countries with the 
work of Working Group 5. 
b. To assist cooperation with the I.G.U. photo interpretation sub 
commission. 
2. It is strongly recommended that any action of the International Geographi 
cal Union leading to the functioning of a full Commission to study the 
application of photo interpretation techniques to geographical studies 
should be supported and it expresses the wish to cooperate as fully as 
possible with such a commission. 
Working Group 6 
The exploration of still new snow and ice-covered areas, as well as the 
frozen lands of the Arctic and Antarctic, offer many future possibilities such as 
economic resources, relatively ice-free shipping routes, polar navigation and 
air facilities etc. It is thus expected that Working Group 6 will have an in 
creasing number of individuals with similar interests in these regions and that 
Working Group 6 should make a concerted effort to follow and report signifi 
cant progress. 
Working Group 7 
1. Governments should become aware of the fact that photography provides 
an effective way of recording monuments in threatened areas. 
2. Extension of agricultural land, towns, etc. threatens to destroy many 
archaeological remains, both those standing above the surface and those 
only visible as “crop-marks” etc. Therefore areas known to have fa 
vourable soil conditions in this respect, should be intensively examined 
from the air, and records made over a period of several seasons in several 
years. 
3. In order to diminish the costs, flights should be planned during which 
photographs for more than one purpose will be taken. This requires a 
close cooperation, which might well be established at universities or 
national agencies. 
4. It is advised that reports of those engaged in the application of aerial 
photography to archaeology, as well as information about the most suitable 
equipment both for use in the air and for the interpretation purposes, 
should be published.
