The Sky's Eyes: Remote Sensing in Archaeology Some would argue that the greatest advancement in archaeology since the shovel is remote sensing, or being able to see an archaeological site without actually excavating it. (If nothing else, it's certainly easier on the lower back.) This type of seeing can take place either from the air or the ground. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), dubbed the red ...
