Solving a conspiracy of history
Description
The integration of remote sensing and digital documentation into archaeological practice has aided in the discovery of historical remains and improved the recordation of artifacts and built heritage. This thesis will explore the evolution of remote sensing and its relationship to archaeology and heritage conservation. Remote sensing employs image capturing and radar systems to record data both on the ground and in the air, which can be utilized to create three dimensional (3D) models and maps detailing archaeological, architectural, and geological features. In the past two decades that its use has become more common in the heritage sector. Remote sensing technologies are continuously improving and the applications for them are increasing, making the future of remote sensing very promising. Given the significance of the archaeological record to Etruscan studies, Etruscan archaeological sites provide significant and connected case studies for the employment of remote sensing forms at active and inactive ancient heritage sites
