Source for multispectral satellite imagery for the Southwest US

[UncleMatt]

Hi All,

I am curious if anyone knows of a source for the kind of satellite imagery they have used to find ancient roads and communities in Egypt and South America, but that covers the Southwest US? I believe this is multi-spectral satellite imagery at fairly high resolution. I am interested in engaging in some "satellite archeology" in New Mexico and Arizona.

Please sound off if you know a source, and I don't care if you have to pay for it.

Thanks!

Sounds like an interesting idea. I might be interested in this my own self.

Thanks!

I wouldn't care if someone else pays for it either.

Thanks for those links. Here is an article about the kind of thing I am referring to:

BBC News - Egyptian pyramids found by infra-red satellite images

Now then, why can't I find any studies that have been done about using satellite archeology on the SW United States? That was the purpose of my thread, to locate information or sources on satellite data for the US like they used to discover these unknown pyramids in Egypt.

Please post if you know of any.

Its been almost a year since I originally posted this thread. Yet not a single posts shows any satellite archeology that has been done in the U.S. I find that very odd!
