Remote sensing (archaeology)
Remote sensing in archaeology is like having special eyes that can see through the ground and walls to find things that are hidden.
Scientists use special machines, called remote sensing tools, to do this. These tools help them see things that are not visible to the naked eye. They can find underground artifacts, ruins, and even whole cities that have been buried for a long time.
The most common types of remote sensing tools that archaeologists use are drones, LiDAR, and satellites. Drones are like little airplanes that can fly over archaeological sites and take pictures from above. The pictures help archaeologists see details on the ground that they wouldn't be able to see from the ground level.
LiDAR is a special tool that uses lasers to create a detailed 3D map of the ground. Scientists can use these maps to see things that are hidden underground, like tunnels and foundations of buildings.
Satellites orbit the Earth and take pictures from really high up. These pictures can show what the ground looks like without any trees or buildings blocking the view. Scientists can use these pictures to find things that are hidden in forests or other places where it's hard to see from the ground.
All of these tools help archaeologists to discover new things about the past. They help to find ancient artifacts and historical landmarks that can tell us more about the way people lived long ago. By using remote sensing, we can learn more about our history and the way people lived in the past.
