That’s what’s cool about imaging technologies, you can get interesting and amazing information the day you pop up some lidar drones. You can overlay this with satellite imaging and ground penetrating radar. Combine this with local archaeologists and other experts and it does really end up being compelling, even if largely speculative.
- AlotOfReading 4y agoI have quite a bit of remote sensing experience from the field and I've since left archaeology to work in autonomous vehicles where I get to play with sensors my former annual salary couldn't have purchased. I strongly believe remote sensing technology is important, but it's usually just a first step in guiding and supplementing traditional fieldwork rather than replacing it. Having pretty landscape models to ogle at is nice, but typically not all that useful academically without time-consuming additional analysis to map things like artifact scatters or statistical models back onto it.
