T/CTSA 0018-2023 Guidelines for remote sensing and geophysical archaeology methods for buried relics in different environments

Scope

Scope: This document describes the remote sensing and geophysical archaeological processes for buried remains in different environments, and provides guidance on collecting archaeological basic data, environmental analysis, field surveys, selecting remote sensing data, selecting geophysical methods, extracting and comprehensively analyzing archaeological features, validating results, and evaluating quality. This document is applicable to the design and implementation of remote sensing and geophysical archaeological work for buried remains such as houses, city walls, trenches, burial sites, and kiln sites in different environments; Main technical content: The drafting team summarized the working methods of remote sensing and geophysical archaeology, thereby completing the preparation of the following content in this standard: (1) Workflow. This standard provides the basic workflow for remote sensing and geophysical archaeology in different environments, which should be carried out in accordance with the steps of collecting basic data, environmental analysis, field surveys, selecting remote sensing data, selecting geophysical methods, comprehensive analysis and verification of archaeological features, and quality evaluation. (2) Basic data collection. When conducting remote sensing and geophysical archaeological work in different environments, archaeological-related information and geographic element data should be collected from two aspects to provide necessary basic information for environmental analysis, field surveys, remote sensing detection, and geophysical exploration. Among them, archaeological data includes field archaeological survey information, archaeological excavation information, archaeological thematic maps, historical documents, and archaeological research materials. Geographic element data should include online remote sensing images, large-scale topographic maps, and digital elevation models with resolution greater than 30m. (3) Environmental analy
