Integrating GeoInformatics in Archaeological Research and Cultural Resources Management

Various technological means from the GeoInformatics domain have been introduced in the mainstream of archaeological research. Applied from Space, Air, Land and Underwater, the particular methods have placed their imprint enhancing significantly the conventional survey approaches. These technologies have transformed our perspectives of CH studies by advancing the way of registration of underling monuments and sites, capturing the urban and rural context of archaeolandscapes and monitoring the structural integrity of historical buildings. Their manifold employment opens new dimensions in archaeological research, provides a solid ground for the protection and preservation of cultural landscapes / monuments & delivers a more accurate representation of the our past environment.
