Abstract
tIn the last two decades, archaeology has benefited from the development of earth observation (EO) tech-nologies, including optical multispectral, LiDAR and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing. Thelatter is gaining the attention of an expanding community of scientists and archaeologists due to theincreasing availability of multi-platform, multi-band, multi-polarization and very high-resolution satel-lite SAR data. It is increasingly becoming an important tool in archaeology owing to specific characteristicof its operational modalities, e.g. all-weather, penetration, polarization and interferometry. However,compared to other EO technologies, SAR is encountering more difficulties in realizing its full potential forarchaeological applications due to the greater complexity of data processing and interpretation tools. Inthis paper, SAR-based approaches for the reconnaissance of archaeological signs and SAR interferometryfor the monitoring of cultural heritage sites are discussed. Ways and means to reduce complexity of dataprocessing and interpretation tools are also explored.
