This paper discusses the results of the aerial archaeological research of Early Iron Age settlements in Northern Transdanubia. The eastern, mountainous area is more difficult to explore, thus we can only talk about some aspects of the detailed research of two fortified settlements (Süttő, Százhalombatta). By comparison, detailed photomaps were made of the settlements in the western part, where cropmarks help in identifying archaeological sites. Intensive excavation activities have been conducted for three decades in the flat NW region, which is split between three countries and dominated by the river Danube and its tributaries. Several studies covered the topic of Early Iron Age settlements in this area and the topographical knowledge gained from the researches helps in interpreting the information from the aerial photographs.
