This handbook is the first
comprehensive overview of the field of satellite remote sensing for
archaeology and how it can be applied to ongoing archaeological
fieldwork projects across the globe. It provides a survey of the history
and development of the field, connecting satellite remote sensing in
archaeology to broader developments in remote sensing, archaeological
method and theory, cultural resource management, and environmental
studies. With a focus on practical uses 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, including 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
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.
