6, CONCLUSION 
This project has shown the importance of photogrammetry 
within the framework of 3D documentation of the castle of 
Beaufort, for the development of the site and the landscape. 
The study presented in this paper shows that using the old aerial 
photographs taken by French air force of the Levant between 
1931 and 1936, a comparative restitution makes it possible to 
locate in a precise way the visible archaeological structures on 
the archive photographs. Only a small part of the site was 
currently plotted with these techniques. This study will be 
supplemented in the next months by the complete 
photogrammetric restitution of the whole set of photographs 
carried out in April 2003. The contractor who will be in charge 
of the restoration will then have all information to release the 
great quantity of fill around the castle, in order to preserve 
intact the historical and archaeological structures which would 
be still in-situ below the embankment.
