| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is proved that space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can be a powerful tool to detect subsurface archaeological site in the desert of Egypt. Space-borne SAR was newly applied to detect undiscovered archaeological site distributing over the area except the desert. As a result of the image analysis using ALOS/PALSAR and Landsat7/ETM+, a trace of undiscovered Hellenistic archaeological site named Site No.52 was found in the Nile delta. Additionally, Grand Truth and usefulness evaluation of space-borne SAR were carried out in Egypt and China as an experiment to apply the same method to various places of the world except the desert. The results show that there are many common points in distribution and location environment of archaeological site between the both countries and L band space-borne SAR makes possible a highly efficient archaeological survey for the large mound tombs of Chinese emperors during the Qin to Tang dynasties.
