Geospatial techniques in archaeology
Over the past five decades, archaeologists are increasingly using geospatial techniques such as remote sensing (RS), geographic information system (GIS) and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) to gain insights into archaeological landscapes. The application of these techniques has broadened the scope of archaeological investigations as well as the artefacts of interest to field archaeologists who have traditionally focused on tools, implements, inscriptions, monuments and other organic and inorganic material remains to also include human imprints on landscapes (soil marks, crop marks, drainage patterns, field boundaries, and a host of other man-made features).
