    Satellite imagery in archaeology
    1. Has a very short history despite the
    fact that satellites have existed since the
    1950’s
    2. The main reason is that until recently
    civilian satellite images were very low
    resolution
    3. Has ‘taken off’ since 1996 as a result
    of: a. De-classification of some military
    satellite imagery
    b. Launch of civilian satellite
    platforms with high-resolution
    sensors
    Resolution of satellite sensors
    This is measured in the area represented by one
    pixel of sensor data

    1st May 1960
     Gary Powers was shot down over
    Sverdlovsk

     The US could not afford to suffer the


    same embarrassment again and
    needed a means of acquiring high
    resolution photographs with limited
    risks. An upgraded CORONA was the
    answer
    Corona
     A spy satellite system employed
    between 1959 and 1973. Initially is was
    deployed as a low resolution platform to
    obtain photographs for mapping
     As a result of events on 1st May 1960
    it’s cameras were upgraded to take high
    resolution pictures

     The US Government denied its


    existence until 1996 when all CORONA
    imagery was declassified. It is now
    available to all for $18/shot
    Corona
    Corona and site prospection

    CORONA satellites were mainly depoloyed


    over the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact
    until 1967. Between 1967 and 1973 they
    were also deployed over the Middle East
    ICONOS

     In 2002 imagery was commissioned from


    the ICONOS platform

     ICONOS is the first of a new generation of


    civilian satellites able to acquire high-
    resolution multispectral data (EROS and
    Quickbird are two others)
     ICONOS enables us to look at landscape
    changes in the last 20 years and to
    determine whether the additional spectral
    range enables the identification of further
    sites
