Geospatial technology plays a crucial role in archaeological studies by enhancing site discovery, mapping, and analysis. Technologies like Geographic Information Systems (GIS) help manage spatial data, while remote sensing using satellites and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) reveals hidden structures beneath vegetation or soil. GPS aids in precise site mapping, and drones provide high-resolution aerial imagery. These tools improve archaeological surveys, minimize excavation damage, and enable predictive modeling of ancient landscapes, significantly advancing research and preservation efforts.
