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.
