625:, was used to study Caracol, a Mayan city in Belize, dated to 550-900 AD. Archaeologists Arlen and Diane Chase, from the University of Central Florida, worked for 25 years in the dense tropical rainforest, managing to map 23 km (8.9 sq mi) of settlement. At the end of the dry season of 2009, they embarked on four continuous days of LIDAR flying, followed by three weeks of analysis by remote sensing experts. This allowed them to surpass the results of the prior 25 years, revealing over 177 km (68 sq mi) of city—a far larger area than expected. Furthermore, the landscape was modelled in 3D, leading to the discovery of possible new sites such as "ruins, agricultural terraces and stone causeways" (to be investigated further for a greater understanding). We can thus see the impressive effect aerial methods can have on streamlining archaeological survey, and pushing the limits of what is possible. 382: 562: 404: 604: 636:, Syria provides an example of how different types of satellite imagery can be used in combination. The site is based in an area notorious for its difficulties surrounding archaeological survey, as the diversity of terrain makes the detection of archaeological sites difficult. As a result, Homs is a perfect candidate for aerial reconnaissance. Modern agriculture often obscures remains through practices such as deep ploughing (which removes many levees and low-lying sites from the archaeological record). Furthermore, vegetation of different types/densities frequently disguises sites, impeding site visibility. 284: 312: 1894: 1905: 296: 129: 160:
Brophy and Cowley argue that "recording techniques in anyone country or region are bound up in archaeological tradition that are heavily influenced by social and political contexts." Thus, aerial photography is recognised as a key part of archaeological survey in Britain, partly because it has strong

Digital data, for example, ALS, can be used effectively in "heavily automated workflows" (a process that uses rule-based logic to launch tasks that run without human intervention), e.g. a six-year project using supervised automated classification to survey 35,000 km (14,000 sq mi) of

Through interpretation archaeological sites were identified as tells with low-relief soil markings, "with remains ranging from small walls less than 1 m wide to large multi period settlements." The projects as a whole demonstrated how valuable aerial archaeology is to archaeological survey,

Stereoscopic pairs are overlapping images used to examine features in 3D which can add accuracy to interpretations (eliminating effects of dusk or marks). The AARG recognise the ability to see in stereo as an 'essential qualification' for professional photo interpreters.

These are often taken intentionally to observe something of potential archaeological significance. The day and time of year are essential for the most revealing images. Furthermore, features must be recognised before being photographed.

CORONA imagery successfully detected single-period sites, which could not be detected by IKONOS. Furthermore, CORONA imagery assisted in exposing ancient field systems, and crop marks within fields, revealing early watercourses.

The LANDSAT imagery fell short when used for site detection and mapping, due to its lower resolution compared to Quickbird and IKONOS, but was most successful at characterising the environment and visualising rates of change.
269:: buried ditches will hold more water and buried walls will hold less water than undisturbed ground, which causes crops to grow taller or shorter, and therefore define buried features, e.g. as tonal or colour differences. 374:) and survey by taking "scores of pictures that produce an overlapping set, recording a site, feature or excavation from all angles." These are then used alongside structures from motion software (SFM) to create 581:
