The term is "space archaeology（考古學(xué)）"，but the field is much more down to Earth.Space archaeologists use satellite imagery and other remote-sensing techniques to look for ancient sites on our planet.As archaeologist Sarah Parcak explains in her new book，Archaeology from Space，these tools have transformed studies of ancient times. "We've gone from mapping a few dozen ancient sites in one summer-long archaeological season to mapping hundreds，if not thousands，of sites in weeks，" she writes.
With Parcak as a guide，the book offers a lively，inspiring trip around the world，back in time and even into the future.Parcak begins with the basics of space archaeology，explaining how，for example，satellite images can reveal the locations of walls or the foundation of a former building.Even long-buried ruins can leave a mark on the surface，affecting the growth of vegetation（植被）and so resulting in "crop marks".These outlines become apparent from high above and with instruments attuned to certain wavelengths of light.
In example after example，Parcak demonstrates the capabilities of different technologies.Many of the book's stories and tales of fieldwork focus on what Parcak have learned about ancient Egypt.While studies of monuments and tombs have revealed aspects of everyday Egyptian life，satellite data have filled in some bigger picture details.In the first survey of settlement patterns in the ancient Nile Delta，Parcak's team discovered that people largely abandoned the region as a result of environmental change and droughts near the end of Egypt's Old Kingdom some 4，000 years ago.It feels remarkably timely in this era of climate change reading what contributed to the Old Kingdom's fall.Parcak notes that part of archaeology's value lies in learning lessons in resiliency（適應(yīng)力）from past societies.
