Issues in the use of remote sensing data in the tasks of a comprehensive study of bronze age settlements (on the example of the chelyabinsk region)

Subject of research: is the issues of complex analysis of remote sensing data of archaeological objects obtained using several remote methods that differ in physical principles. Purpose of research: to develop procedures for the comprehensive analysis of data on archaeological sites using modern information technologies and computer modeling, as archaeological objects used Bronze Age settlements in the Southern Trans-Urals: Verkhneuralskoye fortified settlement and Nizhneuspenskoye settlement. Methods and objects of research: data on archaeological sites were obtained using methods of interpretation aerial photographs and satellite images, local aerial photography using unmanned aerial vehicles, photographing photographic plans of archaeological sites based on the global navigation satellite system and means of areal electromagnetic profiling by the AEMP-14 induction system. Main results of research: the joint use of various remote sensing methods made it possible to identify several construction horizons of different times at archaeological sites and to clarify the shape and contours of settlements.
