| Zusammenfassung |
This paper is focused on the jointly use of satellite Quickbird (QB) images
and Ground Probing Radar (GPR) for assessing their capability in the detection
of archaeological adobe structures (sun-dried earth material). Such
detection is particularly complex. due to the low contrast generally existing between the
archaeological features and the background. Two significant test areas were
investigated in the Ceremonial Centre of Cahuachi (in the Nasca territory,
Southern Peru) dating back to 6th century BC to 4th century
AD.
Our results showed that both satellite and GPR data provided valuable indications for unearthing precious ancient remains.
Our preliminary analyses pointed out that the integrated use of non destructive
remote sensing techniques has high potentiality for its important scientific
implications and for its significant contributions to cultural resource management. |
