The upside to privacy erosion:-)

Made by the Getty Conservation Institute, MEGA stands for Middle Eastern Geodatabase for Antiquities – Jordan, and it will go live gradually in the coming months. It reminds of Sweden's RAA online database launched in 2006 (http://www.raa.se/cms/fornsok/start.html) but Jordan has a lot more stuff, and MEGA looks like it might be more sophisticated.

"Hundreds of ancient sites have been discovered by aerial surveys, thanks to a dry start to the summer, English Heritage has said."
