ABSTRACT

Ground-based Remote Sensing (GBRS) techniques currently available for the remote examination of archaeological features within historic floors, based upon scientific photoimaging and digital image enhancement, offer an important additional tool for their investigation and interpretation. The features which are best extracted are those which are either formed by differing chemical composition or by incision below the normal surface. Where anomalies are suspected, but not easily discerned by eye, then remote sensing offers a valuable series of tools to assist in the proper recording of these features.
