Description

Space technology has enormous applications in the field of archaeology. Data generated through satellite remote sensing have successfully been utilised for better understanding of evolution of man and his activities in the past.

This book provides an introduction to the remote sensing technology and its applications in the field of archaeology. It exposes archaeologists to the modern scientific developments in the field of space technology by presenting basic technological information in a simple language. It contains research articles contributed by expert scientists which illustrate practical applications of remote sensing methods in various fields of archaeology for identification of buried or sunken ancient sites, delineation of large monuments, palaeo-channels and quantitative geomorphol-ogical mapping, monitoring and management of archaeological sites.

A number of case studies of ancient Indian cities, like Kausambi, Srasvasti, Sisupal-garh, Nalanda, Dvaraka, Ujjain, Baroda, Hampi, and Adams Bridge, Indo-Gangetic Plain, etc. demonstrate utility of high resolution remote sensing data.

Studies of palaeo-channels of Sarasvati, Sabarmati, Banas, etc. in Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu included in the book are of great significance for understanding palaeo-environment and geomorphol-ogical changes for archaeological interpretation. The book would bring the archaeol-ogists and scientists together for utilisation of latest technology in the field of archaeology for study and preservation of cultural heritage.
