Aerial techniques and non-destructive methods are changing how we find, monitor, and protect cultural sites.
This edition shows how remote sensing can map large lands, track changes, and guide preservation decisions. The text uses real-world examples to explain how imagery and digital tools support cultural resource management. It highlights practical steps for assessing data, planning surveys, and weighing environmental and industrial impacts on ancient remains. Kin Ya'a, a Chacoan site in New Mexico, is discussed as a case study in how mining activities can create indirect effects that threaten surrounding resources, even when direct impacts are limited.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the concept of non-destructive archeology, a methodology born from the marriage of remote sensing techniques and an ethical and scientific concern over the destructive nature of traditional archeological practices. A central theme is that archeologists must prioritize preservation and move beyond the collection and excavation techniques that diminish the data contained within archeological sites. The book emphasizes that remote sensing technology not only allows for vast quantities of data to be collected without physically disturbing sites but also provides a permanent, retrievable archive of information. The author argues that this non-destructive approach is no less scientific than traditional methods and can lead to discoveries that were previously impossible. The insights in this book are significant for the future of archeology. By moving towards the non-destructive methodologies outlined, archeologists can ensure that future generations have access to the full data potential of sites and a more complete picture of the past.
