Open remote sensing data for the identification of archaeological sites

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Archaeology, as a science, is constantly evolving and embracing various interdisciplinary methods. Currently, geoinformation technologies and aerospace remote sensing, along with other remote sensing methods, are becoming some of the primary tools at various stages of archaeological research. This study explores the potential of using open-source remote sensing data to identify archaeological sites. The findings suggest that data from Sentinel-2, SRTM, ALOS, and Copernicuscan be used as supplementary information for detecting and identifying different archaeological features. It is worth noting that the best results at the pre-excavation stage can be achieved through a comprehensive approach, which involves combining different types of remote sensing data and GIS modeling techniques.
