This project has been applied in the archaeological site of Recopolis and in its surroundings. This area is located in Guadalajara, Spain. The Recópolis visigotic site has been largely investigated with several field surveys and laboratory analysis. As a support to these campaigns, interest area has been overflown at July and at November 2002, including the deposit and a nearby arab castell, operating simultaneously with two airborne remote sensing instruments, a multispectral scanner Daedalus 1268 and a digital camera AMDC integrated whit a positioning and orientation system (GPS/IMU).
The aim of this collaboration between INTA and UPM is to provide high spectral and spatial resolution images to support the archaeological study. The acquired images have been used to make a preliminary site cartography, to extract current land cover and to test detecting and/or confirming models of possible buried archaeological structures. We describe in this paper the flight configurations, the data processing and the first results and conclusions.
