本文回顾了地理空间技术及其考古应用的最新发展，这是一个新兴的研究领域，可以被称为“空间考古学”。我主要关注三个方面：1）考古景观的区域规模卫星遥感，2）风筝，气球和无人机低空航空成像，以及3）在复杂的近东遗址考古物理学的创新方法。这些技术和其他空间考古测量技术不仅是对传统考古调查的支持，还为探索过去提供了强大的新手段，产生了丰富，强大和大规模的数据集，这些数据集无法通过传统的实地调查复制。
This paper reviews key recent developments in geospatial technologies and their archaeological applications, an emerging area of research that can be termed “spatial archaeometry.” I focus on three areas: 1) regional-scale satellite remote sensing of archaeological landscapes, 2) kite, balloon, and drone-based low-altitude aerial imaging, and 3) innovative approaches to archaeological geophysics at complex Near Eastern sites. Far from being simply a support to traditional archaeological investigations, these and other spatial archaeometric technologies offer powerful new means to explore the past, producing rich, robust, and large-scale datasets that could not be replicated through conventional fieldwork.
