Satellite remote sensing archaeology

S AT E L L I T E R E M O T E S E N S I N G F O R ARC H A E O L O G Y This handbook is the first comprehensive overview of the field of satellite remote sensing for archaeology and of how it can be applied to ongoing archaelogical fieldwork projects across the globe It provides a survey of the history and development of the field, connecting satellite remote sensing, archaeological method and theory, cultural resource management, and environmental studies With a focus on the practical use 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 Case studies from Asia, Central America, and the Middle East are explored, including Xi’an, China, Angkor Wat, Cambodia, and Egypt’s floodplains In-field surveying techniques particular to satellite remote sensing are emphasized, providing strategies for recording ancient features on the ground as observed from space The book also discusses broader issues relating to archaeological remote sensing ethics, looting prevention, and archaeological site preservation New sensing research is included and illustrated with the inclusion of over 160 satellite images of ancient sites With a companion website with further resources and colour images, Satellite Remote Sensing for Archaeology will provide anyone interested in scientific applications to uncovering past archaeological landscapes with a foundation for future research and study Sarah H Parcak, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA and Director of the University’s Laboratory of Global Health Observation She directs the Middle Egypt Survey Project, and is co-Director of the Survey and Excavation Projects in Egypt SAT ELL I TE R E M O TE SEN SI NG F O R ARC H A E O L O G Y Sarah H Parcak First published 2009 by Routledge Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4RN Simultaneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge 270 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10016 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business This edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2009 To purchase your own copy of this or any of Taylor & Francis or Routledge’s collection of thousands of eBooks please go to www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk © 2009 Sarah H Parcak All rights reserved No part of this book may be reprinted or reproduced or utilized in any form or by any electronic, mechanical, or other means, now known or hereafter invented, including photocopying and recording, or in any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from the publishers British Library Cataloguing in Publication Data A catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data Parcak, Sarah H Satellite remote sensing for archeaology/Sarah H Parcak p cm Archaeology–Remote sensing Imaging systems in archaeology Remote-sensing images Archaeology–Fieldwork Excavations (Archaeology) Historic sites–Conservation and restoration Antiquities–Collection and preservation Archaeology–Methodology Archaeology–Moral and ethical aspects 10 Archaeologists–Professional ethics I Title CC76.4.P37 2009 930.10285–dc22 2008040045 ISBN 0-203-88146-X Master e-book ISBN ISBN10: 0-415-44877-8 (hbk) ISBN10: 0-415-44878-6 (pbk) ISBN10: 0-203-88146-X (ebk) ISBN13: 978-0-415-44877-2 (hbk) ISBN13: 978-0-415-44878-9 (pbk) ISBN13: 978-0-203-88146-0 (ebk) FOR GR AM PY AN D G REG (WHO FIN ALLY M EET) C ON T E N T S List of illustrations List of tables Preface Acknowledgements x xv xvi xviii Introduction A history of satellite remote sensing for archaeology Overview 13 1900s–1930s 14 1940s–1960s 18 1970s 20 1980s 23 1990s 28 2000 onwards 31 13 Satellite image types Overview 41 Google Earth™ 43 NASA World Wind 51 Corona High Resolution Space Photography/KH-7/KH-9 52 KVR-1000 58 Landsat 58 SPOT 65 ASTER 67 SRTM 70 High resolution imagery: Quickbird and IKONOS 72 RADAR (SIR-A, SIR-B, SIR-C, X-SAR) 73 LIDAR 76 Other airborne sensors: RADARSAT, airborne thermal radiometry 78 Data quality 79 41 vii C ON T EN T S Processing techniques and imagery analysis Overview 81 Imagery processing programs 84 Integrating satellite images and aerial photographs and visual interpretation 85 Georeferencing 88 Band combinations 91 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index 92 Classification 94 Thresholding 97 Principal Components Analysis 97 Land Use Land Cover Changes 99 DEM techniques 100 Hyperspectral studies 101 Filtering 102 RADAR/LIDAR analysis techniques 104 GIS and remote sensing 106 Combined techniques 109 Towards automated archaeological site detection?
