Topography study of Uruk monuments using remote sensing techniques

In this research, the use of remote sensing techniques and geographic information systems was relied upon to study the topography of the ruins of Uruk, which is located east of the city of Samawah, 60 km from the centre of this city, to draw topographical maps, regression maps, directions and stereoscopic contour maps of the area and compare the results with the process of providing this information using The work of the traditional field survey, and it was found through this research that the means of modern technologies represented in the use of (GIS), (ERDAS) and (Global Mapper) programs to study archaeological sites give realistic and accurate results. The limited area is between (5 - 15), while the shadow areas are limited between (70 - 180), which is a medium shadow area, while the flat area constitutes 20%. The high areas constitute 50%, and the concave areas constitute 30%, which is shown along the longitudinal section of the study area, and the highest height in the region was (12 m) and the lowest height was (8m).
