DTSTART:20171023T220000Z

DESCRIPTION:In 1995\, President Clinton declassified 800,000 photograp
 hs from CORONA\, the United States' first spy satellite program\, in o
 rder to make them available for environmental and historical research.
  Since then\, imagery from the U2 aerial missions and from HEXAGON\, t
 he CORONA successor\, have been declassified as well. Archaeologists w
 orking in the Near East have been quick to embrace these newly availab
 le resource\, which capture images of sites and landscapes in the 1960
 's. Many of these landscapes have been damaged or destroyed in the int
 ervening 40 years. This presentation will discuss how CORONA imagery h
 as been used to study ancient landscapes in the Near East\, with case 
 studies from Bronze Age Syria\, Iron Age northern Iraq\, and late Anti
 que northwestern Iran.
