SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING FORARCHAEOLOGY
This handbook is the first comprehensive overview of the field of satellite remote sensing for archaeology and of how it can be applied to ongoing archaelogical fieldworkprojects across the globe. It provides a survey of the history and development of thefield, connecting satellite remote sensing, archaeological method and theory, cultural
resource management, and environmental studies. With a focus on the practical use of
satellite remote sensing, Sarah H. Parcak evaluates satellite imagery types and remote
sensing analysis techniques specific to the discovery, preservation, and management of
archaeological sites.
Case studies from Asia, Central America, and the Middle East are explored, includ-
ing Xi’an, China, Angkor Wat, Cambodia, and Egypt’s floodplains. In-field surveying
techniques particular to satellite remote sensing are emphasized, providing strategies for recording ancient features on the ground as observed from space. The book also discusses broader issues relating to archaeological remote sensing ethics, looting prevention, and archaeological site preservation. New sensing research is included and illustrated with the inclusion of over 160 satellite images of ancient sites.
With a companion website with further resources and colour images, Satellite Remote Sensing for Archaeology will provide anyone interested in scientific applications to uncovering past archaeological landscapes with a foundation for future research and study.
