AIA Lecture - Space Archaeology-FR

Event Details:

The Archaeological Institute of America New Brunswick Society invites the university community to an interesting illustrated public lecture by Drs Armand LaRocque and Brigitte Leblon from the Faculty of Forestry at UNB entitled, Using Satellite Images for Mapping Maya Archaeological Features in the Yucatan, Mexico.

Drs. Larocque and Leblon will present their preliminary remote sensing results on the possible detection of four new Maya sites in northern Petén area of Mexico using new types of satellite imagery and digital elevation models.  They will examine both the implications and limitations of these findings, as well as the need for ground verification of these potential settlements through archaeological field surveys.

This is a free public event and all are welcome!
