Putting Angkor on the Map Vendredi 30 janvier 2004 / January, Friday 30th, 2004 Vous êtes cordialement invités ?Ela présentation informelle You are cordially invited to attend the following informal presentation: Putting Angkor on the Map: The Discovery and Analysis of Settlement Structure Using Remote Sensing and GIS   Damian Evans Archaeologist, University of Sydney Survey work undertaken over the last fifteen years by the EFEO and the Greater Angkor Project has changed our understanding of Angkor as a lived-in space. Using a variety of remote sensing techniques, from aerial photo interpretation to imaging radar systems, researchers have found and mapped a dispersed urban landscape stretching between and also far beyond the main temple complexes, as well as an extensive network of roads, canals, dykes and reservoirs across most of the Angkor plain. Far from being just a collection of state temples and reservoirs, Angkor is increasingly being recognized as one of the largest ?Eperhaps even the largest ?Eof the world?s pre-industrial settlements. Given these outcomes, it is clear that remote sensing provides a powerful method of deriving settlement pattern information for dispersed, low-density urban complexes where visibility, accessibility and the sheer scale of the study area make conventional ground survey impractical, and further airborne radar acquisitions are planned for a number of settlements worldwide. However, there are many methodological issues surrounding the mapping process that need to be understood in order to assess and correctly interpret the new maps thus produced. With an emphasis on imaging radar systems and their application at Angkor, this presentation deals with some of the issues involved with the mapping of archaeological landscapes, including the integration of historical and art-historical interpretations, the representation of spatial and temporal uncertainty and the problem of ground verification. Damian Evans is a doctoral student in the Archaeology Department at the University of Sydney, and is preparing a dissertation on the application of remote sensing techniques to the problem of urban decline at Angkor. He is also on staff in the University?s new Spatial Science Innovation Unit, specializing in spatio-temporal mapping and the archaeological interpretation of radar imaging data. He has participated in fieldwork at Angkor since 1999, and has coordinated the geospatial data component of the Greater Angkor Project (EFEO, APSARA, Univ. of Sydney) for the previous three years. The presentation will take place on January, Monday 12th, at 6:30 pm at the EFEO center. La présentation se tiendra ?E18 h 30, lundi 12 janvier 2004, au centre de l'EFEO.

Vendredi 23 janvier 2004 / January, Friday 23rd, 2004 You are cordially invited to attend the following informal presentation: REMOTE SENSING AND GIS FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS IN THAILAND : Case Studies of Royal Road from Angkor to Phimai, the Study at Sukhothai World Heritage Site, and Ayuttaya?s Multi-temporal GIS database Surat Lertlum Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok Remote sensing and GIS can be used as tools for archaeological analysis. There are various cases around the world that remote sensing and GIS were used to assist archaeologists to pin point and help to identify archaeological sites. Especially, the applications of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) demonstrated the applications that never been imagined before how the technology can help the conventional way that conducted by archaeologists. In this presentation, there are three case studies. The first case, application of remote sensing and GIS for the identification of the royal road from Angkor to Phimai is presented. The usage of satellite remote sensing including AirSAR, and other sources such as digital elevation model (DEM), old maps, aerial photos and ground survey is demonstrated. The second case, the application of remote sensing and GIS at Sukhothai world heritage site in the lower part of the northern region of Thailand is demonstrated. This case study will demonstrate on how integrated technologies can be used as tools for world heritage management and study of lives during Sukhothai period. In the third case study, the information extracted from ancient maps of Ayuttaya period is compared with the current information extracted from satellite data, topographic map, and other related information. The result from this study can be used by archaeologists, for example, to identify the locations that were mentioned in the royal chronicles or other documents in existing that describe the live and locations during that period.
