Space Archaeology

Space archaeology resources I've examined so far:

One from Slate, by Sarah Parcak: http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2013/10/space_archaeology_this_is_the_best_time_ever_to_be_an_archaeologist.html

[And, here is Sarah Parcak on Stephen Colbert: http://www.cbs.com/shows/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert/video/R_vo3j63RBnC4Ag5iuokSPpWmMrT6ZyE/sarah-parcak-space-archeologist-wizard-genius/]

A brief discussion from National Geographic, with illustration of Tanis discovery: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2013/02/125-explore/satellite-archaeology

National Geographic also has a nice LiDAR graphic:

High school boy studying Mayans, discovers city (BBC report):

NSF funded program for spatial data research in archaeology - SPARC at CAST out of the Univ. of Arkansas  http://sparc.cast.uark.edu/

Here are my one day class materials (slides, instructions and data) on Archaeology and GIS, with an example of mapping Roman Amphitheaters (Spring 2016):

And, though it's not quite space archaeology, I love the In Time and Place website:
