The Spanish Archaeological Mission in Jordan initiated an archaeological survey of the monuments of the Citadel of Amman, especially the Umayyad Palace. The documentation necessary for the Mission's project included: 1) a general plan of the Citadel at a minimum scale of 1/1000, 2) a plan of the area in which the Mission planned to pursue its studies and excavations at a scale of 1/200, 3) the recording of the different structures and archaeological remains through plans, elevations and sections at a scale varying between 1/20 and 1/100. The Servicio de Fotogrametria in Madrid had plotting equipment at its disposal for both aerial and terrestrial photo-grammetry as well as terrestrial cameras for recording the monuments and architectural elements on the Amman Citadel. The author relates all the details of the campaign undertaken not only in the Amman region but also in Irbid, Kerak, Petra, Aqaba, Mafaraq and desert areas. The measurements and instruments used by the technicians are described.
