This paper reports a study we carried out to understand the L-band response over a variety of different archaeological sites on the Earth's surface and underground. We have considered quad-pol images from ALOS-PALSAR. Our choice is linked to their potential to discriminate the backscatter response as a function of the morphological features of each site. We selected test sites located in Italy: Vulci and Arpi. These areas are archaeologically well known, thanks to aerial photographs, of which photogrammetric restitution of the sites have been made. Anomalies corresponding to archaeological marks were indentified and spatially characterized by ALOS PALSAR images. However this work will be supported and integrated with archaeological research in situ and ancillary information in order to have a complete case history.

Abstract
This paper reports a study we carried out to understand the L-band response over a variety of different archaeological sites on the Earth's surface and underground. We have considered quad-pol images from ALOS-PALSAR. Our choice is linked to their potential to discriminate the backscatter response as a function of the morphological features of each site. We selected test sites located in Italy: Vulci and Arpi. These areas are archaeologically well known, thanks to aerial photographs, of which photogrammetric restitution of the sites have been made. Anomalies corresponding to archaeological marks were indentified and spatially characterized by ALOS PALSAR images. However this work will be supported and integrated with archaeological research in situ and ancillary information in order to have a complete case history.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
