I 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.
