        由于遥感考古能够全面、立体、快速有效地探明地上和地下古遗址的分布信息,在现代考古中发挥着十分明显的作用,越来越受到考古工作者的重视,逐渐成为考古研究的重要手段。本文重点评述了遥感考古的国际发展现状及趋势、我国研究进展、探讨了空间技术在发现历史文化遗产和古人类遗址与环境重建中的作用,并提出了学科发展对策及建议。

        Historic cultural heritage is the information carrier of human’s history, which recorded abundant man’s activities and development. Remote sensing technology observes the earth from space and has a great deal of cultural relics information on the image, objectively reflecting their spatial distribution patterns and characters. As remote sensing archaeology is able to detect ancient remains distribution on or under the earth surface comprehensively and rapidly, it has played much obvious role in modern archaeology, is paid great attentions by archaeologists, and is becoming an important means in archaeological research.
