Spying on the Past: Declassified Satellite Images and Archaeology
Presented by Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology at Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology
April 29, 2010

Using declassified US government spy satellite and aerial images, Harvard student archaeologists explore sites in Northern Mesopotamia and South America. These images are both visually arresting and potent archaeological tools. Four case studies in Syria, Iraq, Iran and Peru reveal complex early cities, extensive trackways, intricate irrigation canals and even traces of nomadic journeys.
