Further archaeological analysis of the environment surrounding identified sites Preparation of detailed Archaeological Maps of Identified sites Including demarcation of boundaries Archaeological Impact Assessment Management of Buffer Zones Issues of encroaching Infrastructure and Urbanization
54 Challenges for Archaeology in Sri Lanka: Scope for Space Technology Interventions Mapping and Inventorisation of Archaeological sites Monitoring of archaeological sites Use of time series analysis of satellite imagery for early detection of threats of encroachment, urbanization, infrastructure development Assessment of potential risk due to due to natural disasters Disaster response and recovery Detection of destruction and theft of Antiquities
55 Potential techniques for being used in conjunction with appropriate Space Technology based tools Crop Marks (Tonal variation of the vegetation overgrown on varying structural features lying underneath) Shadow Marks Soil Marks Any other space technology based techniques/tools successfully tested elsewhere in the world
56 Need for International Cooperation Cultural Heritage an important area for international cooperation in space technology applications for common and mutual benefit Active pursuance of the possibility of appropriately accommodating the relevant aspects of cooperation in space technology applications, that are desired in cultural heritage management, into the existing international space technology cooperation agreements on such other globally relevant areas such as disaster management Active Research into the possibility of adapting those Space Technology Applications (Remote Sensing, GIS, GNSS and Satellite Communication Applications) which are already developed and established in other fields of activity such as land use management, environmental monitoring, urban development, agriculture, surface navigation etc.
