Considering Present‐Day Communities in Archaeological Remote Sensing of Burial Spaces: Introduction to Special Issue

ABSTRACT In this editorial, we introduce the Special Issue, ‘Considering Present‐Day Communities in Archaeological Remote Sensing of Burial Spaces’. What does it mean to consider present‐day communities when we do geophysical surveys in burial spaces? This is the conversation we hoped to spark through this Special Issue, and the authors who contributed manuscripts to this Special Issue rose to this challenge. Within this Special Issue, readers will find thoughtful and thought‐provoking insights into many aspects of this work. While many of the authors present technical information on methods, approaches, and analyses of data from specific cemeteries, it is their engagement with these higher‐level questions that AP readers who engage in this type of work are likely to find most stimulating.
