REMOTE SENSING AND GEOPHYSICS IN NORTH CAROLINA ARCHAEOLOGY: A BRIEF HISTORY, DISCUSSION OF THE PAPERS, AND IDEAS ABOUT THE FUTURE.

This paper is drawn from a talk presented at the “Exploring North Carolina’s Archaeological Heritage through Remote Sensing and Geophysics” symposium held on March 12, 2016 in Raleigh North Carolina. All of the papers at this conference were open to the public and indeed prepared for and delivered to a general audience. John J. Mintz, Deputy State Archaeologist, and Shawn M. Patch organized the symposium and asked me to give a brief background on the use of remote sensing and geophysics in North Carolina, discuss the papers, and talk about what I saw as the future of archaeological remote sensing. My presentation was the last one in the event so it was short and concise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
