Role of Remote Sensing in Archaeology with Special Reference... 1. Field check is must before conclusion about the object / area under investigations. 2. Resolution of the RSD is very important to discriminate the neighbor objects as present on the earth surface. 3. IRS ID, L-3, Geocoded RSD is used by the author for the study. It has 23.5 meters resolution by this we can recognize the object / sites only but detail study of site / object can not be done. 4. For detail study about any object/site in manner of their structure, carving, architecture etc. high resolution data (RSD) is required i.e. PAN (5.8 meters) and IKONOS (1-4 meters). High resolution thermal data of Landsat may be more useful for the archeological studies (Balaji, 2005). 5. For height perception (to get 3D view) aerial photographs should be used with the help of stereoscope (viewing device) for further accuracy. Acknowledgement The author is very thankful to Prof. U. C. Singh, Head, School of Studies in Earth Science, Jiwaji University, Gwalior for providing departmental facilities, valuable discussion and suggestions during the entire work. I Thank my wife Dr. (Smt.) Sadhna Jain for her kind cooperation during the work.
