Testing the Regional Reliability of Spectral Signatures of Archaeological Phenomena (2006-01)

On August 14, 2007 By David W. Morgan

The research reported herein focuses on developing and testing predictive models based on the satellite remote-sensing (SRS) of prehistoric and historic archaeological phenomena. With advances in the resolution of satellite-borne imagery, such as IKONOS, and the availability of software designed to process such imagery, such as ENVI, archaeological predictive modeling is positioned to progress beyond simplistic “indirect” correlational studies involving gross ecological categories or subjective landform designations.
