"There's a real sense of urgency around site mapping and site detection just because coastal erosion, wildfires, tsunamis - large scale climate events - are impacting sites," said Sarah Parcak, an archaeologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and author of the book "Archaeology from Space." The rapid changes in our environment necessitate faster and more innovative approaches to preserve history.
"As satellite technologies improve, we're able to see new sites almost every day," Parcak said, emphasizing the importance of satellite imagery and sophisticated mapping techniques in modern archaeology, which are crucial for discovering and preserving archaeological sites.
