"Archaeologists have used geological surveys in the south of Iran to reveal rectangular formations inspired by Greek architecture dating to the Sassanid era."

Given my interest in remote sensing, I am intrigued by the term, "geological surveys", above. Some of the sensing methods I have employed that might yield spatial data on buried ruins include:

• Ground penetrating radar -- both from overhead and on the surface

• Proton magnetometer

• Soil resistivity

• Micro-seismology

• Lidar

• Grazing light-angle overhead imagery (plus spatial convolution post-processing)

• And... the ubiquitous "pokey rod" (manual probe) '-)

If you find out any more details as to what "geological survey" techniques the Iranians used, please pass them along...

Thanks!
