All the money spent by the United States space program is not spent looking at the stars. NASA is composed of a vast and varied network of scientists across the academic spectrum involved in research and development programs that have wide application on planet Earth. Several of the leaders in the field of remote sensing and archaeology were recently brought together for a NASA-funded workshop in Biloxi, Mississippi. The workshop was organized specifically to show these archaeologists and cultureArchaeologyRemote sensingArchaeologyNorth AmericaRemote sensingIndians of North AmericaAntiquitiesRemote sensingExcavations (Archaeology)North AmericaNorth AmericaAntiquitiesRemote sensingElectronic books.ArchaeologyRemote sensing.ArchaeologyRemote sensing.Indians of North AmericaAntiquitiesRemote sensing.Excavations (Archaeology)930.1028Johnson Jay K1027267University of Mississippi.Center for Archaeological Research.John C.
