Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Countless discoveries of covered archaeological remains have been made in aerial and remote sensing archaeology utilizing panchromatic, multispectral, thermal, lidar and radar images (collected from the sensors of manned aircrafts and satellites). On the other hand, unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) are widely used in archaeology but are underutilized when collecting images in areas outside of the visible spectrum to locate covered archaeological remains. Thus, this Special Issue aims to bring together original articles on the application of UASs with remote sensing sensors in locating covered archaeological remains (due to vegetation, forest, crops, soil, etc.).
