Abstract
REMOTE SENSING IN the form of
aerial photography has made extensive
contributions to archaeology over the
years, especially in identifying and
mapping ancient sites. Such sites usually
have dimensions measured in tens or
hundreds of metres, and the high
resolution afforded by aerial surveys
makes such an approach very cost
effective. Spaceborne platforms
generally have much poorer spatial
resolutions and have not made significant
contributions in the field of archaeology.
However, the unique imaging capabilities
of spaceborne radar systems have
provided valuable information to
archaeologists and will become
increasingly important in the future.
