The paper is devoted to studying the experience of using GIS technologies and remote sensing data together to create archaeological maps. In the course of the research, the main task was solved: the technology of digital mapping of archaeological sites was developed and tested. Digital map layers have been prepared for the Yustyd, Ulandryk I and II, and Sary-Gabo burial grounds. Digital terrain models have been created for them, which are used to analyze settlement systems, territorial organization of the economy, and similar reconstructions. A digital cartographic framework has been prepared, including a cartographic database and identification characteristics of monuments. The possibility of using DD for solving problems of archeology is shown. Algorithms for automated decoding of multispectral images for recognition, recording, and description of archaeological sites and their attributes have been improved and refined. The obtained materials and survey results (topographic and space scanner surveys) are presented in the most common GIS formats MapInfo Pro and ArcView.
Keywords: digital mapping of archaeological sites, GIS technologies, remote sensing in archeology, scanning, multispectral image decoding.
Introduction
One of the most acute problems of Siberian archeology is the lack of a detailed archaeological map of Altai. For its development, issues related to the development of the concept of geoinformation mapping in archeology are of great importance; the creation of a unified methodology that allows obtaining archaeological maps of the required scale and territorial coverage; the introduction of common standards and formats for digital cartographic data in archaeological research, etc. With the current level of development of geoinformatics and remote sensing methods, it is possible to quickly build archaeological maps with high accuracy, detail and reliability. This paper examines the experience of using GIS technologies and remote sensing data ...
