Finally we come to our fourth operation, presentation. Here two factors
that have already been stressed introduce particular difficulties. The fact that
we are studying whole landscapes and that ground remains of different date
are often intermingled and closely crowded, means, firstly, that we have to
limit our plans to a reasonable size for publication but, secondly, that at the
scale thereby imposed we cannot draw all the detail that may be vital. Since
a readily recognisable view with all its infinity of detail can do more to show
what a site looks like than any plan, one or more oblique air photographs are
almost ideal to complement the scale plans which we need to provide us with
measurable data.
