Recording of Historic Buildings and Monuments for FEA: Current Practices and Future Directions
Cultural heritage (CH) sites and monuments share significant historical and cultural value, but at the same time, these are highly vulnerable to deterioration due to age, construction methods, and materials used. Therefore, stability studies for CH structures through numerical analyses allow researchers and stakeholders to safeguard them against time and exposure to hazards. To obtain reliable results for stability studies, detailed and accurate …
Tombs and Necropoleis of Cyprus: A Corpus of the Hellenistic and Roman Burial Grounds
The dataset contains geospatial information relating to hundreds of single tombs and necropoleis across Cyprus, dating to the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The data were collected by the first author for the needs of her PhD thesis. The dataset is deposited on KTISIS and is hereby made available to future research efforts for update. There is substantial reuse potential pertaining to research on Cyprus as well as the wider Mediterranean in areas…
Geomatic Sensors for Heritage Documentation: A Meta-Analysis of the Scientific Literature
This review paper aims to provide a meta-analysis of the scientific literature for heritage documentation and monitoring using geo-information sensors. The study initially introduces the main types of geomatic sensors that are currently widely used for heritage studies. Although the list provided here is indicative rather than exhaustive, it provides a general overview of the variety of sensors used for different observation scales. The study nex…
Interacting with the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Language Model ChatGPT: A Synopsis of Earth Observation and Remote Sensing in Archaeology
In this communication we aim to provide an overview of Earth observation and remote sensing in archaeology following a non-traditional literature review approach, that is, investigating recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and language models. Towards this direction, the generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT) language model was used to extract relevant information. The ChatGPT language model—recently released by OpenAI—appear…
A contribution to the study of copper production in the Iron Age polity of Paphos in Cyprus
The Kotroni Archaeological Research Project (Kasp): Evaluating ancient Aphidna using multimodal landscape analysis
The Kotroni Archaeological Research Project (KASP) seeks to understand the relationship between the natural and human landscape of Aphidna from prehistory through to the present, and how such rural communities contributed to the economic, social and cultural life of larger, ‘core’ centres in the region. As one of the constitutional demes of Classical Athens, Aphidna was steeped in the foundational history of the Athenian polis, which saw in it a …
Reconstructing an ancient mining landscape: A multidisciplinary approach to copper mining at Skouriotissa, Cyprus
Extensively worked in antiquity, Skouriotissa remains the only active copper mine on the island of Cyprus. The modern, open-cast operation, however, has almost completely obliterated the earlier mining landscape. Here the authors report the results of investigations, including dating, of the ancient topography of the mine. They incorporate spatial data derived from archival sources, recent fieldwork and absolute dating into a geographical informa…
Detecting Looting Activity through Earth Observation Multi-Temporal Analysis over the Archaeological Site of Apamea (Syria) during 2011–2012
This study aims to investigate the potentials of open-access, freely distributed Earth Observation images for detecting large-scale looted areas. The analysis was conducted using medium-resolution Landsat 7 ETM+ images over the archaeological site of Apamea, at Syria. The site has been systematically and extensively looted in the recent past, attracting the interest of scholars. We propose a multi-temporal analysis of cloud-free multispectral Lan…
The Role of Archival Aerial Photography in Shaping Our Understanding of the Funerary Landscape of Hellenistic and Roman Cyprus
This study deals with the investigation of the Eastern necropolis of Nea Paphos in western Cyprus, employing archival and recent aerial photographs for the identification of surface/near-surface ancient architectural remains. The analysis of the primary archival aerial photograph employed for this study reveals the archaeological visibility of the site as it had been captured approximately 15 years before its rescue excavation in the 1980s. The o…
Least Cost Pathway Analysis of obsidian circulation in Early Holocene–Early Middle Holocene Cyprus
Integrated Investigation of Built Heritage Monuments: The Case Study of Paphos Harbour Castle, Cyprus
The state of preservation of built heritage monuments is often evaluated by means of several destructive techniques, which are mainly focused on the analysis of small parts of the monuments’ construction materials. The necessary sampling for the accomplishment of these destructive analyses is usually restricted to confined parts of a monument, since monuments are usually under protective legislation, and therefore only indicative of larger areas.…

Guest editor preface
The Cyprus coastal heritage landscapes within Marine Spatial Planning process
Towards a spectral library of Roman to Early Christian Cypriot floor mosaics
Floor mosaics are of great interest for archaeologists and art historians. While in the last decade other scientific sectors supported their study mainly from a technical point of view, through traditional archaeometric analysis, this paper suggests an innovative methodological approach and presents some preliminary results aiming to a non-destructive investigation based on the spectroradiometric analysis of stones used for manufacturing the anci…
Orthogonal equations for the detection of hidden archaeological remains de-mystified
Spectral variations of vegetation, known as crop marks, have been widely used for archaeological research as a proxy to detect buried archaeological remains. Such marks can be recognized using space-borne data and image analysis techniques supported by the existing archaeological knowledge of the area under study. Orthogonal equations for the enhancement and detection of crop marks using multispectral satellite images have been recently proposed …
Correlating damage condition with historical seismic activity in underground sepulchral monuments of Cyprus
Severe and repeated earthquakes devastated Cyprus in antiquity, causing in many cases the abandonment of entire settlement sites. Yet, information regarding the level of seismic activity of historical seismicity in Cyprus is very limited and does not provide the evidence to arrive at reliable conclusions relative to hazard damage parameters such as the severity or occurrence frequency of a seismic event. Thereafter, the level of risk in which the…
Colour to Greyscale Pixels: Re‐seeing Greyscale Archived Aerial Photographs and Declassified Satellite Corona Images Based on Image Fusion Techniques
To date, archived aerial photographs or recently declassified satellite CORONA images have been used to support archaeological research. However the use of such images is limited to the interpretation of greyscale images, which can be improved by image analysis processes including filters, edge detection techniques, etc. This article presents a methodology to improve the interpretation of these images by adding colour from recently acquired satel…
