“…We may further ascribe this emphasis to several factors: the relative difficulty in applying more sophisticated techniques, the difficulty selecting the right technique for a given application, and the fact that sometimes data simply is not improvable to the point of becoming interpretable (Traviglia 2006;Schmidt 2004). In spite of any obstacles, improvements in processing techniques should, in some cases, be able to improve the legibility of data as collected (Orlando & Soldovieri 2008;Schmidt & Tsetskhladze 2013).…”

The variety and sophistication of data sources, sensors, and platforms employed in archaeological remote sensing have increased significantly over the past decade. Projects incorporating data from UAV surveys, regional and research-driven lidar surveys, the uptake of hyperspectral imaging, the launch of high-temporal revisit satellites, the advent of multi-sensor rigs for geophysical survey, and increased use of structure from motion mean that more archaeologists are engaging with remote sensing than ever. These technological advances continue to drive research in the specialist community and provide reasons for optimism about future applications, but many social and technical obstacles to the integration of remote sensing into archaeological research and heritage management remain. This article addresses the challenges of contemporary archaeological remote sensing by briefly reviewing trends and then focusing on providing a critical overview of the main structural problems. The discussion here concentrates on topics that have dominated the discourse in recent archaeological literature and featured prominently in ongoing fieldwork for the past decade across three broad segments of landscape archaeology: data collection in the field, the current state of data access and archives, and processing and interpretation.

“…In particular, satellite and geophysical methods have proven to be valuable for detecting and characterizing a variety of archaeological targets (Arciniega-Ceballos et al, 2009;Garrison et al, 2008;Fowler and Fowler, 2005;Leopold and Völkel, 2004;Leucci et al, 2007;Linford, 2006;Orlando and Soldovieri, 2008). The success of these methods has greatly influenced archaeological fieldwork, extending their possibilities and scopes.…”

“…The obtained results indicate that in the future, it will probably be possible to create a navigation map (Stein and Ettema 2003) showing significance of the individual factors (Mummery et al 1999) and their interactions for better interpretation of GPR measurements (Orlando and Soldovieri 2008).…”

A methodological contribution to use of Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) as a tool for monitoring contamination of urbansoils with road salt

et al. 2014

The use of Ground-Penetrating Radar as a tool for monitoring urban soils contaminated with road salt was tested. Data obtained from GPR measurements were compared with the results of laboratory analyses of soil samples collected during selected measurements and evaluated in relation to weather (esp. temperature and precipitation sums) prevailing prior to the individual measurements. It was proved that GPR technology can be used to indicate presence of road salt in soil to a certain extent. However, the radar also reacted sensitively to other irregularities within soil horizons such as type of soil freezing and thawing, changes in soil moisture content and probably also varying activity of soil biota. Further research is necessary to screen out these influences in order to improve practical applicability of this technology in research of soil salinity in urban environment.
