New Approaches to the Use and Integration of Multi-Sensor Remote Sensing for Historic Resource Identification and Evaluation

The Department of Defense administers 25 million acres of public land containing some of the nation’s most significant historic and prehistoric cultural resources. Protecting these heritage resources is a fundamental part of the Department's primary mission. Heritage mana gement issues central to that mission have focused on the economics of identifying and maintaining historic facilities, the impact of archaeological sites on construction and training programs, and the disposition and curation of artifacts. Cultural resources, defined in DoD Instruction 4715.3, include buildings, structures, sites, districts, and objects eligible for, or included in, the National Register of Historic Places regulation (36 CFR 60). Management of these resources, in compliance with existing laws and regulations such as Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (25 USC §3001), the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (16 USC §470 aa-ll), American Indian Religious Freedom Act (42 USC §1996), and the standards in the Curation of Federally-Owned and Administered Archaeological Collections (36 CFR 79), necessitates the development of innovative and cost-effective methods for archaeological site identification, evaluation, and protection.
