Abstract

The present study identified the extant remains of the Portuguese fort in Honnavar town, India. To identify archaeological features, high resolution multi-spectral remote sensing and digital elevation model data as well as historical documents were analysed using remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) platform. To better understand the patterns and distributions of archaeological ruins, enhancement and classification techniques were applied to the images. The maps were overlaid on a digital elevation model (DEM) to confirm the existence of fort. To aid in this investigation, an extensive GIS database of the archaeological site was developed using a combination of results derived from RS techniques, historical data sources, and field studies. The results of this study are beneficial to the archaeologists and administrators to conserve the ruins of the historical Honnavar fort.
