Available Sentinel-2 images acquired between April 2017 and September 2022 were used. More than 700 images (727) were initially processed and filtered, accounting at the end of more than 400 (412) available calibrated Level 2A Sentinel images over the case study area. Sentinel-2 images were processed through image analysis. Based on pan-sharpened data, the visibility of crop marks was improved and enhanced by implementing orthogonal equations. Several crop marks, some still unknown, were revealed in this study. In addition, multi-temporal phenological observations were recorded on three archaeological proxies (crop marks) within the case study area, while an addi- tional area was selected for calibration purposes (agricultural field). Phenological observations were performed for at least four complete phenological cycles throughout the study period. Statistical comparisons between the selected archaeological proxies were applied using a range of vegetation indices. The overall results indicated that phenological observations could be used as archaeological proxies for detecting the formation of crop marks. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/27400 | ISSN: | 20724292 | DOI: | 10.3390/rs15020464 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology Earth Observation Cultural Heritage Research Lab Applied Geomorphology and Interdisciplinary Research Centre (CGACI) West University of Timisoara |
