NASA helps Doc Savage to explore archaeological sites | Past ...

, Aboard NASA’s Earth Observing-1 satellite.

Savage’s focus is Khirbat en-Nahas, a major copper mining and smelting site of the ancient world. Located in an inhospitable valley in Jordan, the area has yielded to Savage and his team evidence of sophisticated economic and political activity dating back about 3,000 years.

In a multi-page feature, NASA News has really opened up a whole new avenue of analysis that we hadn’t even explored before,” Savage said. “I can tell you where in the area the ore is coming from; which parts of the site were used for smelting and which were not; and that different parts of the site were drawing ore from different regions.”

Gathering such information via field work would be exorbitant in terms of money and time, but all Savage has to do is log in to a website, target his area of interest on a map, and click his mouse. That tells the satellite to aim its instruments at the site as it passes over.

imagery last summer by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Centre employees he met while in Cairo for a state-sponsored conference involving representatives from the U.S. government and the Egyptian Space Agency.

Initially designed to try out new technologies, the Earth Observing-1 satellite has morphed into a remote-user test lab for pioneering efforts like Savage’s. This year marks a decade since the satellite was launched into space – not bad for a vessel intended to fly for a single year and last a mere six months longer than that.

More information

The remote sensing analysis in this article is a part of Dr. Thomas  Levy’s extensive research in the Faynan district of Jordan.  Dr.  Levy, from the University of California, San Diego, has directed large scale archaeological survey and excavations in the area since 1999.  Current work on remote sensing is preliminary at this point, and final results will depend on Dr Savage following  up his work with ground-truthing  on the remote sensing results.
