Google Earth finds 2000 Archeological Sites

This post is an excerpt from 2,000 New Archaeological Sites Found Using Google Earth.

In a number of places, places rich in history and therefor rich in latent archaeological information, it is too hard to dig. Either the politics, terrain or the need to budget makes even educated guesswork prohibitive. But now, an Australian archaeologist has found almost 2,000 new sites in Saudia Arabia using a program that takes less than a minute to download: Google Earth.

Archaeologists have been adding web and mobile technologies to their toolkit for a while now. But this discovery is surprising just in the scope of it. And it indicates the possibility that we are verging on a new archaeological golden age.
