Abstract In recent years, digital technologies applied to archaeology have led considerable changes in fieldwork. However, the use of mobile GIS for fieldwork has not been widespread, especially countries where is yet entrenched within field archaeology. Over last decade, technological context associated with changed. this text, these are discussed based on a case study developed Catamarca (Arg...

This paper presents the results of an investigation of ten mountains undertaken in 1983 in Lauca and Isluga National Parks in northern Chile. Archaeological sites were surveyed on five of the summits and ethnographic information was collected in villages located near them. An Inca figurine, made out of mullu shell (spondylus) was discovered on the surface at one of the sites. The survey helps e...

C.A. and O.B.J. Shepherd have developed a subdivision of three 1000 m sections and five 'acre' sections in the lower Tauranga Whangaroa. Five archaeological sites were identified within the subdivision. The sites recorded are identified as representative of the sites present on the volcanic valley sides.

Theia is a software framework for multispectral image analysis. The design is grounded on the object-oriented approach and a model combining parallel computation with selective data processing. Multispectral images from the archaeological site of Aquileia, Italy, have been used as the experimental testbed in order to assess the effectiveness and performance of the system; satisfactory results a...

The successful analysis of LiDAR data for archaeological research requires an evaluation of effects of different vegetation types and the use of adequate visualization techniques for the identification of archaeological features. The Ceibal-Petexbatun Archaeological Project conducted a LiDAR survey of an area of 20 × 20 km around the Maya site of Ceibal, Guatemala, which comprises diverse veget...

The goal of this research is to test an empirical line radiometric calibration of airborne digital scanner ADS40 data from Leica Geosystems, for remote sensing applications in general and to demonstrate the potential of ADS40 data for archaeological prospection in detail. In this study we present the first results of multitemporal flight campaigns with two different generations of ADS40 sensor ...
