Abstract
AbstractThis chapter addresses the different remote sensing methodologies that have been applied for the study of the Cultural Heritage in Cyprus. Ground based geophysical prospection, aerial and satellite remote sensing, in tandem with soil analyses of cores, have been applied for the mapping of the archaeological sites and the reconstruction of the archaeoenvironment, but also for addressing issues related to the risk assessment of sites and monuments. Taking into account the different geological conditions of the island and some of its peculiarities (such as metamorphic and iron-rich geological formations), the success of these methods varies significantly. The past experiences can be used as a guideline for the wider and more successful application of the remote sensing techniques.
