From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Kenneth S. St Joseph (1912-1994) was a British archaeologist, geologist and Royal Air Force (RAF) veteran who pioneered the use of aerial photography as a method of archeological research in Britain and Ireland. In 1948 he was appointed curator of aerial photography at Cambridge University. By 1962 the university had acquired an airplane and pilot, allowing for a systematic and extensive program of aerial archeology. His research was published in books and articles under the name J. K. S. St Joseph.
