I want these small questions to be answered in my essay.
– How high spatial resolution multispectral data in visible, NIR, and thermal can be used to identify surface features that are evidence of archaeological remains?
– what different platforms can be used for archaeological applications of remote sensing?
– how measurements of surface elevation and form can be used to distinguish different features?
– the value of ground-penetrating radar for archaeology?
– what can be learned from ground-penetrating radar?
– what is the range of different sub-surface techniques that are available for studying underground features?
