Identifying coastal archaeology using multi-spectral satellite imagery of the intertidal zone

The project takes advantage of recent advances in remote-sensing technologies and GIS spatial mapping capabilities to identify archaeological features, integrate a wide range of archaeological, morphological and palaeoenvironmental data, and to reconstruct the coastal prehistory of the Solent, on the southern coast of England.

The project focuses on the development and assessment of the multispectral mapping technique, which has the potential to provide a cost-effective approach for monitoring, mapping and managing the coastal zone and their related archaeological sites, particularly in regions of significant human activity.
