The primary issue addressed is the challenge of accurately detecting and
predicting buried archaeological sites in arid, desert environments. Traditional
ground-based methods often struggle in these areas due to extensive sand cover,
Problem complex stratigraphy, and limited surface visibility. These factors hinder efficient
Addressed
site discovery, delay excavation planning, and increase operational costs, espe-
cially in environmentally sensitive or logistically complex terrains such as the Saruq
