Antoine Poidebard (Lyon, 12 October 1878 – Beirut, 17 August 1955) was a French landscape archaeologist, Jesuit missionary, and pilot. He pioneered aerial archaeology in the Middle East, flying over Iraq, Syria, and Jordan.

Poidebard exploited shadows and differences in vegetation to discover mounts indicating past settlements and Roman roads, photographing these from the air and visiting some of the sites on the ground. Provided by Wikipedia
