The availability and affordability of remotely sensed data and imagery over recent decades has revolutionised the way we understand and explore archaeological sites and landscapes. Data captured using techniques like airborne laser scanning (ALS), synthetic aperture radar (SAR), multi-system geophysics and multi as well as hyperspectral platforms contains surface and subsurface variation at ever increasing resolution and at increasing scales.

This session will explore multimodal approaches to sites and landscapes using remotely sensed data and imagery. It will focus on how this data can be used to generate tailored solutions to specific research questions, and in doing so greatly reduce the computational demands of the data. Central to this is the integration of different but relevant data types.

The session will also focus on the site and landscape management potential of remotely sensed data and imagery. It will do this by exploring modelling techniques and quantitative analyses which address the unique opportunities and challenges associated with archaeological heritage.

The conference of the European Association Archaeologists takes place in Glasgow on September 2-5, 2015. Check out our Session
