Abstract

This Special Issue hosts a selection of papers presented at the Third International Conferenceon Metrology for Archaeology and Cultural Heritage (Lecce, Italy, 23-25 October2017), related to the new perspectives on geophysics for archaeology. In recent years,archaeological prospecting has seen major advances through a variety of remote sensingand computing technologies. Geophysical instrumentation continues to improve in sensitivityand acquisition speed, and new multi-sensor arrays, e.g., drawn by carts over land,now permit vast areas to be rapidly covered. On the other hand, the availability of highresolutionremote sensing techniques provides multiscale and multi-temporal approaches tothe study of ancient settlements and landscapes, and proves fundamental in the reconstructionof their development over centuries. Nowadays, research in landscape archaeologyneeds the integration of different high-resolution remote sensing techniques such as satellite(optical and radar data), aerial (photographic, infrared and lidar data from aircraft andunmanned aerial vehicles), but also land acquisitions (integration of different geophysicaltechniques, field walking, and differential GPS topographical surveys). All these investigationsare based on a geoarchaeological approach, with several aims ranging from historicalreconstruction to preventive archaeology and from the preservation of archaeological andmonumental heritage to noninvasive diagnosis through micro-geophysical techniques.
