The lessons comprise the multitude of insights you need to collect during the first years of applying this Over the last couple of decades, scientific breakthroughs in the field of space science meant that better earth observation satellites are constantly being launched, significantly decreasing the ground and temporal resolutions and revolutionizing the way we look and study Earth and its processes. Archaeology is picking up on this trend and the number of remote sensing oriented archaeological studies is increasing every year. This tutorial is aimed at guiding the reader through the basics of Optical and Microwave Remote Sensing, highlighting the major open source remote sensing image repositories, and discussing several remote sensing methodologies used in archaeological research to map, discover, and monitor archaeological sites.
