The Atlas of Syria Archaeology from Space:
The atlas was produced through a constructive cooperation between the National Council for scintifice Reseach National Center of Remote Sensing, and Geospace Gmbh,Salzburg, Austria.
The atlas contributes considerably to rise on one side the awareness on the benefits and the advantages of space technology for archaeological purposes within the specialized group of archaeologists and related scientists, and on the other side among a wide public on the importance of the Syrian cultural heritage within a global context to which the "cradle of civilization"
belongs. The United Nations awarded this by including several historical sites in Syria into the global cultural world heritage.
Various techniques have been used in accomplishing this atlas namely: aerial archaeology (photointerpretation & archaeological structures), remote sensing (optical sensors, Earth Observation Satellites, Satellite Radar & ground geomagnetic methods), GIS
& GEO-Archeological Information Systems (GAIS).
