This "Handbook of geoarchaeology. A remote geomorphological
approach" intends to offer itself as a training and knowledge tool to
those who, university students, researchers and connoisseurs of the
subject, intend to deepen the study of the environment as a context of
the testimonies of the past in its perennial evolution of forms and
resources.

It collects the experience acquired in the field, over several decades
of reconnaissance and excavation activities, by its authors in Italy
and in numerous countries of the near and middle east, central Asia
and north Africa. Researches supported and always conducted with the
aid of a privileged perspective point, such as that offered by the
various remote sensing images taken with different sensors from aerial
and satellite platforms in successive time periods, the interpretation
of which has always been compared with direct observations, or with
the so-called 'ground truthing'.

Precisely this close integration between landscape, local resources
and more or less ancient anthropic emergencies constitutes the
backbone of the book, expressed through numerous and exhaustive
examples of analysis in various environments of the Mediterranean
area, the Near East and Asia that see applied a theoretical approach
amply illustrated in the first part of the volume.
