AARG (Aerial Archaeology Research Group) is the premier international conference for all aspects of aerial methods in the study of field archaeology and landscape history. With a history going back to 1983, AARG engages with a wide range of methods, including the use of aerial photography, lidar, UAV-based survey and satellite-based approaches.

The 35th AARG conference will be held at the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice’s Ca’ Dolfin Palace from Wednesday 12th to Friday 14th September 2018.
