多谱段ASTER卫星图像最近可用于学术研究。该系统的总带宽和空间分辨率使其优于较老的陆地卫星。在北方美索不达米亚，也就是今天的伊拉克北部，所有的凹道、遗址和运河都是使用ASTER系统定位的。这一系统已被证明在核实CORONA卫星数据中发现的结果和确定在CORONA图像上不易区分的潜在考古特征方面都是有用的。光谱特征和视觉操作都可以用来帮助识别不同的特征类型。从图像中获得的反射率信息也可以与ASTER的光谱库进行核对。通过适当的分析方法，可以为景观考古学带来显著的好处。版权所有（c）2005年约翰威利父子有限公司。
Multispectral ASTER satellite imagery has recently become available for scholarly research. The overall bandwidth and spatial resolution of the system give it an advantage over older Landsat satellites. In northern Mesopotamia, modern day north Iraq, hollow ways, sites and canals have all been located using the ASTER system. This system has proven to be useful in both verifying results found in CORONA satellite data and locating potential archaeological features that cannot be easily distinguished on CORONA imagery. Spectral signatures and visual manipulation can both be used to assist in the identification of distinct feature types. Reflectance information obtained from imagery can also be checked with ASTER's spectral library With proper analytical methods applied, significant benefits for landscape archaeology can be achieved.
