  • Parcak uses satellites to reveal ancient civilizationsReprinted from the UAB Reporter, June 11, 2007 "There are a number of computer programs you can use to analyze this imagery, and it’s extremely beneficial in locating sites," Parcak says. "With this technology, I kind of have a sixth sense about what will work and what won’t." For example, in 2003-2004, Parcak located 132 ancient sites, some dating as far back as 3,000 B.C. Previous surveys and excavations recorded only 59, and 83 other sites had never been visited or recorded. She even found 15 sites once believed destroyed. Still, “I’m only uncovering a fraction of what’s there even using this technology,” she says. Posted by Ken Wallace on 6/20/2007 8:00:00 PM
