Drawing on case studies from the Netherlands and a range of sites within and beyond Europe, the lecture demonstrates how sensors operating beyond the visible spectrum can expand archaeological observation and interpretation.
Topics include the detection of Hellenistic mud-brick architecture through thermal survey, the use of LiDAR to investigate archaeological landscapes beneath dense forest cover, and the broader contribution of multi-sensor UAV survey to excavation and landscape research.
