La arqueología desde el espacio

In this exciting new book, Sarah Parcak reveals the evolution, major discoveries and future of space archeology, an expanding area of knowledge that is leading to extraordinary discoveries about ancient civilizations around the world. Using satellite images, the author shows us that her field of study allows locating and mapping structures and archaeological sites that would otherwise be hidden. It is a look from space that not only reveals the importance of the unexplored, but also manages to dismantle concepts that were believed to be immovable with respect to sites or fundamental times in history by discovering settlements, roads, fortresses, ceremonial centers... hitherto unknown or located in places few archaeologists had ventured. Packed with interesting data and personal anecdotes, Archeology from Space is an invitation to discover a new discipline that is crucial for the preservation of the material remains of the past, as well as for the history of civilizations.
