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 sensingCongressesArchaeologyNorth AmericaRemote sensingCongressesIndians of North AmericaAntiquitiesRemote sensingCongressesExcavations (Archaeology)North AmericaCongressesNorth AmericaAntiquitiesRemote sensingCongressesArchaeologyRemote sensingArchaeologyRemote sensingIndians of North AmericaAntiquitiesRemote sensingExcavations (Archaeology)930.1028Johnson Jay K1577560University of Mississippi.Center for Archaeological Research.John C.
