“…Archaeologists and historians will therefore find PCS images of much greater use. Indeed, PCS images have already been used by Near Eastern archaeologists to study ancient irrigation systems and settlement patterns (e.g Ur & Reade 2015;Novácěk et al 2016;. Hammer 2022;Ur et al 2021), and to aid the interpretation of archaeological geophysics data by distinguishing between recent and potentially ancient features…”

Over the past 25 years, CORONA satellite imagery has become an integral part of archaeological research, especially for arid, sparsely vegetated regions such as the Middle East. Since 2020, a new archive of satellite imagery gathered by the US spy satellite programme that succeeded CORONA—HEXAGON—has become widely available for download via the United States Geological Survey. This photographic archive has enormous potential for archaeological research. Here, the authors seek to lower the barriers to accessing and using this imagery by detailing the background, technical specifications and history of the HEXAGON archive. Four case studies illustrate the benefits and limitations of HEXAGON imagery for archaeological and historical research in the Middle East and beyond.

“…To obtain the most accurate chronological topographic plans of the village, we adopted the so-called multi-temporal approach. In this procedure, mapping and topographic analysis of images are performed on several mutually combined data of different resolutions [36][37][38][39]. Lower-resolution images are used to analyze the background (rural area) of the village core itself, while very high-resolution images are used to map the urban area (Figure 4).…”

A Post-Anfal Village in Iraqi Kurdistan: The Remote Sensing Retrogressive Analysis

The Anfal genocide represents one of the most important events in the recent history of Iraqi Kurdistan. This topic is still very sensitive for the majority of local people; on the other hand, it needs to be studied as part of a modern social transformation of the Iraqi agricultural landscape. The violent liquidation of Qazbagi village in the 1980s prompted a large-scale change in the morphology and social structure of the settlement area. This development could be reconstructed through multi-temporal remote sensing, combined with field verification and oral research. According to the results of this study, research focused on the development of rural settlements can be extended to older periods (modern history before the 20th century, the Middle Ages) and thus elucidate the process of nucleation and dispersion of agricultural settlements, which has rarely been studied in an Iraqi context.
