A Methods Note on Remote Sensing Platforms and Large-Scale Archeological Impact Assessments (AIA) in the Philippines

This research note attempts to present Philippine-based archeological impact assessments (AIA) archeologists “how to” possibly approach spread-out or large-scale project sites through the integration of various aerial remote sensing platforms in work process. Cascading providing multiscalar (macro, meso, and micro) perspectives are presented conjunction with complimentary method stratified random sampling (SRS). The SRS is informed by a predictive model where find Philippine setting, even areas there no positive features. methods offers AIA archeologist efficient targeted utilization limited time resources following streamlined workflow process using geographic informations systems (RS-GIS) as force multiplier. After carrying out AIA, further mitigating arrangements can also be undertaken including possible side-by-side monitoring earthmoving activities archeologists, recommendation for revalidations initial results.
