直到最近，山区的调查还集中在传统的调查技术上，如野外行走。然而，遥感数据在这一领域变得越来越重要。本文将评估几种遥感方法，如航空摄影、卫星图像或无人机(UAV)图像作为探测山区考古遗址的工具。它将讨论遗址能见度的起源，如浮雕、作物标记或雪标，以及与地下相关的考古特征。还将讨论遥感数据在高度结构不均匀的地形中的内部困难。在俄罗斯北高加索地区的一个案例研究的基础上，将讨论在山区考古中应用遥感研究战略的潜力和局限性。通过与地球物理和土壤科学等非破坏性勘探方法的交叉核对，可以评估从地面上可探测到的地点的百分比。
Until recently, surveys in mountainous areas were focused on traditional survey techniques such as field walking. Remote sensing data, however, has become more and more important in this field. This article will evaluate several methods of remote sensing such as aerial photography, satellite images or images from un-manned aerial vehicles (UAV) as instruments for detecting archaeological sites in mountains. It will discuss the origin of site visibility such as relief, crop-marks or snow-markers, and the related archaeological features underground. It will also discuss internal difficulties of remote sensing data in terrain with heterogeneous height structure. On the basis of a case-study from the North Caucasus (Russia), the potential and the limits to the application of a research strategy using remote sensing in mountain archaeology will be discussed. Cross-checking with non-destructive prospection methods such as geophysics and soil sciences allows the evaluation of the percentage of the sites detectable from above ground.
