As an archaeologist, she has worked on remote sensing projects across twelve countries and four continents, using multispectral and high-resolution satellite imagery analysis to identify thousands of potential archaeological sites. These include previously unknown settlements, roads, fortresses, palaces, tombs, and even potential pyramids. She presently directs major crowdsourcing efforts to map ancient civilizations across Peru and India.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eArchaeology from Space\u003c\/i\u003e, Sarah describes the field''s evolution, major discoveries, and future potential. From surprise advancements after the declassification of spy photography, to a new map of the mythical Egyptian city of Tanis, she shares her field''s biggest discoveries, revealing why space archaeology is not only exciting but also essential to the preservation of the world''s ancient treasures for future generations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sarah''s stories take readers back in time and across borders, into the day-to-day lives of ancient humans who displayed grit, ingenuity, and brilliance across the millennia.
