Satellite imagery involves the use of electromagnetic waves to create images of the Earth's surface from space.

Aerial photography provides high spatial resolution images, allowing for detailed analysis of archaeological features.

Ground-penetrating radar uses electromagnetic waves to detect buried structures and artifacts by analyzing the reflections from subsurface materials.

Lidar provides high spatial resolution data, allowing for the creation of detailed topographic maps and the identification of archaeological features.

Hyperspectral imagery provides detailed information about the chemical composition of materials, making it useful for studying archaeological artifacts and materials.

Thermal imagery is primarily used to identify different vegetation types based on their thermal properties.

Change detection analysis involves comparing remote sensing data from different time periods to identify changes in the Earth's surface.

Multispectral imagery is commonly used to identify different vegetation types based on their spectral signatures.

Lidar is commonly used to study the topography of archaeological sites by creating detailed elevation maps.

Magnetometry is primarily used to detect buried structures and artifacts by measuring variations in the Earth's magnetic field.

Satellite imagery is commonly used to study the distribution of archaeological sites in a region by identifying patterns and anomalies in the landscape.

Ground-penetrating radar is primarily used to detect buried structures and artifacts by analyzing the reflections from subsurface materials.

Multispectral imagery is commonly used to study the environmental context of archaeological sites by identifying different vegetation types, soil types, and water bodies.

Hyperspectral imagery provides detailed information about the chemical composition of materials, making it useful for studying archaeological artifacts and materials.

Satellite imagery is commonly used to study the relationship between archaeological sites and their surrounding environment by providing a broad perspective of the landscape.
