Abstract: “We will summarise a series of combined workflows for the remote detection and monitoring of archaeological features. We integrate satellite constellations with new field data acquired from multi-sensor drones. Our methods make use of the multitemporal and multisource nature of these images. We present case studies from South Asia to the Mediterranean that are representative of other global drylands where vulnerable sites such as earthen mounds or buried features are obscured by agricultural expansion and encroachment.”
