Title: Neolithic Spaces, Volume 2
Subtitle: The Bradford Archive of Aerial Photographs
Description: Volume 2 of Neolithic Spaces documents in detail the Neolithic *villaggi trincerati* (ditched villages) of the Tavoliere Plain, Puglia, southeast Italy, visible in the John Bradford Archive of (WW2) Aerial Photographs. These include many previously unknown sites. It is organized as follows. Chapter 1 presents an introduction to the Bradford Archive and an account of the methods used to digitize the photographs and map the sites. It introduces a new classification system for *villaggi trincerati* that categorizes them by features and complexity, rather than mainly by size, as in previous systems. Chapters 2–8 reproduce the aerial photographs at a series of common scales, and include site plans based on these and other available photos (such as those on Google Earth) and survey plans. Also given are grid-references, using the Italian ED1950 datum, photographs of the sites on the ground today, a summary of the finds identified on them (most of these new identifications) and a list of bibliographic references. Each of these chapters is introduced with a summary of Neolithic sites in the area covered by it and a regional map showing all of these, and followed by a correspondence table, again including all of the known Neolithic sites in the area, along with their grid-references and the different names and numbers by which they have been and are known.
