This article outlines approaches for interpreting the Islamic city of Sultan Kala (Merv) in Turkmenistan, c. 8th-13th centuries AD, based upon aerial photographic and satellite imagery. The article explores the theory and methodology of documenting interpretation (and uncertainty) in the transcription of aerial photographic and satellite imagery, and provides a textual and graphic narrative of the development of two sample areas.
