Google Archeology and Crop Cirlces
David Thomas, a PhD student in La Trobe University’s archaeological program in Melbourne, has used Google Earth to safely uncover historic sites in a remote part of war-torn Afghanistan. – ABC
Student found up to 450 archeological sites throughout Registan, south of Afghanistan.
The decision to use Google Earth was “partly born out of adversity”, Thomas says when a planned field trip was cancelled because of security concerns.
It took David 9 hours to go over Google Earth images to spot 1800 “suspicious” sites, where he thinks he can find ancient structures, villages, animal remains, mosques and other ancient goodies.
David hopes to convince archeologists that Google Earth is a wonderful tool to use for archeological research.
