Summary NASA is composed of a vast and varied network of scientists across the academic spectrum involved in research and development programs that have wide application on planet Earth. This book, using case studies, reveals how the broad application of remote sensing and geophysical techniques is altering the usual conduct of dirt archaeology
Notes Based on presentations made at a workshop held in Biloxi, Miss. in 2002, preceding the annual meeting of the Southeastern Archaeological Conference
"Published for the Center for Archaeological Research at the University of Mississippi, the University of Mississippi Geoinformatics Center, and NASA Earth Science Applications Directorate at the Stennis Space Center."
