Abstract

The island of Crete is an area with continuous habitation for more than 6 thousand years consisting of a variety of archaeological sites. The vulnerability of those archaeological sites is extremely high due to the changing land-use practices and various natural disasters. The use of modern technologies such as Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), and Global Positioning Systems is considered to provide a valuable tool for the protection of cultural heritage from human and environmental threats. Additionally, sophisticated classification methods based on fuzzy and neural networks theory contribute to a more detailed and precise mapping of the archaeological regime of the island.
