Abstract

Lately, many articles have been written for the use of satellite images from Google Earth. Some of them are dealing with the identification of new or already known archaeological sites. This work is an effort to analyse and evaluate the capacity of the Google Earth satellite images to identify new archaeological remains. The pilot area of the Eastern Macedonia, Greece has already been studied with the systematic-methodical selection process of satellite images and other archaeological predictive tools, such as historic and modern maps, historical aerial photographs, land distribution diagrams, etc., led to the detection of hundreds of new archaeological sites.
