Bridging the gap between contemporary remote sensing and archaeology
Remote sensing now supplies abundant, high-resolution imagery for archaeological prospection, yet many projects still underuse these data due to technical barriers. This paper presents S.A.D.A. (Smart Anomaly Detection Assistant), an open-source, GUI driven application that integrates common pre-processing (index calculation, histogram adjustment, PCA), multiple anomaly-detection families (Standard, RX, Isolation Forest, LOF, one-class SVM), unsu…
GeoAI for safeguarding rural cultural heritage
Multiscale wildfire exposure mapping for safeguarding rural cultural heritage. • Automated harmonisation and spatial downscaling of environmental data with Empirical Bayesian Kriging Regression Prediction. • Integration of GeoAI and spatial analysis for fire occurrence pattern modelling and cultural heritage exposure. • Proposal of a Total Exposure Index (TEI) to support heritage-oriented prevention and planning. Rural cultural heritage faces esc…
Assessment of Soil Erosion Risk in Cultural Heritage Sites
Different monitoring approaches and techniques have been adopted to estimate and prevent soil erosion and its corresponding phenomena at cultural heritage sites. Remote sensing plays a crucial role in detecting and monitoring soil erosion events by providing a wealth of geospatial data and information that helps to better understand and respond to the mechanisms of soil erosion and mitigate or reduce its impacts. The main aims of this review are …
An Open-Source Machine Learning–Based Methodological Approach for Processing High-Resolution UAS LiDAR Data in Archaeological Contexts
This study shows and discusses an innovative approach devised for archaeological feature detection using unmanned aerial system (UAS) LiDAR and an open-source probabilistic machine learning framework. The methodology employs a Random Forest classification algorithm within CloudCompare’s 3DMASC plugin to analyse dense LiDAR point clouds. The main steps include classifier training, hyperparameter adjustment and point cloud segmentation to produce d…

Identification of Architectural Roman Remains in the Complex Archaeological Site of Buto ‘Tell El Fara'in’, Northern Egypt, Using Geophysical and Remote Sensing Data
The integrated use of remote sensing (RS) techniques, vertical magnetic gradient (VMG) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) measurements, and, in particular, combined analysis of 2D and 3D data, can provide a viable option for the identification of targets of interest at complicated archaeological sites. In this regard, a case study is Kom C at the archaeological site of Buto (Tell El Fara'in) in the northern Nile Delta (Egypt), where sate…
Potential Impact of Using ChatGPT-3.5 in the Theoretical and Practical Multi-Level Approach to Open-Source Remote Sensing Archaeology, Preliminary Considerations
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of using an AI model, specifically ChatGPT-3.5, in remote sensing (RS) applied to archaeological research. It assessed the model’s abilities in several aspects, in accordance with a multi-level analysis of its usefulness: providing answers to both general and specific questions related to archaeological research; identifying and referencing the sources of information it uses; recommending appropriate tools …
Tracking the effects of the long‐term changes on the coastal archaeological sites of the Mediterranean using remote sensing data
Climate change effects along with anthropogenic activities present the main factors that threaten the existence of heritage sites across the north Nile Delta of Egypt close to the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea. Observing the changes in the landscape close to the archaeological sites is an important issue for decision‐makers in terms of reducing the negative impact of natural events and human activities. The coastal heritage sites are becomin…
Remote and Close Range Sensing for the Automatic Identification and Characterization of Archaeological Looting. The Case of Peru
Looting is the major source of artefacts for the antiquities market. Specific measures are needed to fight the whole chain of the illicit activities undertaken by criminal organizations (from the excavation to the selling of the artefacts), and they should be devised for each phase of such illegal activities. The development and use of appropriate technologies for the identification of the most ‘vulnerable’ sites, and the timely detection and aut…
On the Reuse of Multiscale LiDAR Data to Investigate the Resilience in the Late Medieval Time
Airborne and spaceborne remote sensing for archaeological and cultural heritage applications
Archaeological and cultural heritage (ACH), one of the core carriers of cultural diversity on our planet, has a direct bearing on the sustainable development of mankind. Documenting and protecting ACH is the common responsibility and duty of all humanity. It is governed by UNESCO along with the scientific communities that foster and encourage the use of advanced non-invasive techniques and methods for promoting scientific research into ACH and co…

Amplitude Change Detection with Envisat Asar to Image the Cultural Landscape of the Nasca Region, Peru
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) amplitude information from ENVISAT C‐band advanced SAR (ASAR) data was used to analyse the cultural landscape of the Nasca region, southern Peru. A multispatial environmental analysis was performed over the whole drainage basin of the Rio Grande, by extracting the radar backscattering coefficient ( σ 0 ) of both natural and anthropogenic features between 2003 and 2005. Co‐registration of the ASAR scenes to a single …
Alos Palsar Analysis of the Archaeological Site of Pelusium
An analysis of the archaeological site of Pelusium on the northeastern edge of the Nile Delta, Egypt, was carried out using phased array type L‐band synthetic aperture radar (PALSAR) data. The aim was to assess the potential of PALSAR to identify buried archaeological structures. The 18 PALSAR images acquired in various polarimetric modes were obtained for the analysis through a European Space Agency Category‐1 project. Processing included co‐reg…
