Archaeology of the study areas of Remote Sensing project in the Republic of Honduras

Abstract

This project aims to apply recent digital technologies to identify, locate and register remains of cultural heritage, especially the pre-Hispanic. Once identified the remains and studied the environment, it is expected to develop programs against natural and human hazards. These practices are expected to predict danger areas and propose different land uses to improve the protection of the archaeological remains. Since the project will develop in stages, it is expected eventually to have sufficient information to relate structures within archaeological sites and also to reach related archaeological sites between areas and try to find as well, if there exist, relations between structures and between sites with the cardinal points and the stars.
