Abstract
AbstractIn a contemporary era transformed by computers and the Internet, geospatial sciences and space technologies will undoubtedly continue to play an increasing role in understanding and preserving archaeological histories. Particularly since the early 1990s, advances in air and spaceborne technologies, image availability, hardware and software have contributed new, substantially more effective means of archaeological research and heritage management. Geospatial technologies have begun to transform many fields, from engineering and environmental studies to health and earth sciences, and they are having similarly broad impacts in archaeology. Applications encouraged by the availability of inexpensive Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, satellite imagery, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software, have reached near ubiquity in archaeological field research, yet there are few advanced introductions to space technologies tailored to the needs of archaeologists.KeywordsGlobal Position SystemGlobal Navigation Satellite SystemGlobal Navigation Satellite SystemGeographic Information SystemArchaeological SiteThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
