At my Uni (Poland - Gdansk) we did not get any training in photography. But I know from "the first hand" that there is a great potential for archaeology.
At my last job (for Norwegian company) I was using a camera with five lens (each was doing a photo in different wavelength - IR, R, G, B, UV). It was installed on a plane and was taking photos vertically to the ground.
After that using for example ArcGIS I was mixing them in many different ways to get color image. We had a spectacular results, I found a lot of sites and objects (for example Vikings mounds) which were not mentioned at Norwegian National Archaeology database. We made surface research to verify results - Objects were there.
