This volume debuts the new scope of Remote Sensing, which was first
defined as the analysis of data collected by sensors that were not
in physical contact with the objects under investigation (using
cameras, scanners, and radar systems operating from spaceborne or
airborne platforms). A wider characterization is now possible:
Remote Sensing can be any non-destructive approach to viewing the
buried and nominally invisible evidence of past activity.
Spaceborne and airborne sensors, now supplemented by laser
scanning, are united using ground-based geophysical instruments and
undersea remote sensing, as well as other non-invasive techniques
such as surface collection or field-walking survey. Now, any method
that enables observation of evidence on or beneath the surface of
the earth, without impact on the surviving stratigraphy, is
legitimately within the realm of Remote Sensing. The new interfaces
and senses engaged in Remote Sensing appear throughout the book. On
a philosophical level, this is about the landscapes and built
environments that reveal history through place and time. It is
about new perspectives-the views of history possible with Remote
Sensing and fostered in part by immersive, interactive 3D and 4D
environments discussed in this volume. These perspectives are both
the result and the implementation of technological, cultural, and
epistemological advances in record keeping, interpretation, and
conceptualization. Methodology presented here builds on the current
ease and speed in collecting data sets on the scale of the object,
site, locality, and landscape. As this volume shows, many
disciplines surrounding archaeology and related cultural studies
are currently involved in Remote Sensing, and its relevance will
only increase as the methodology expands.
