Description:
In this volume, eleven archaeologists reveal how the broad application of remote sensing, and especially geophysical techniques, is altering the usual conduct of dirt archaeology. Using case studies that both succeeded and failed, they offer a comprehensive guide to remote sensing techniques on archaeological sites throughout North America. Because this new technology is advancing on a daily basis, the book is accompanied by a CD intended for periodic update that provides additional data and illustrations.
Review Quotes: "Remote Sensing in Archaeology, as the full title states, is an explicitly North American perspective. However, wherever you are located on Earth, do not let that dissuade you from reading this book. It is, in fact, a much needed addition to the readily accessible literature on remote sensing techniques in archaeology. . . . This book is an excellent introduction by some of the top specialists in the USA to the use of remote sensing, one that is geared to the consumer rather than the enthusiast or practitioner." -- Archaeological Prospection
