The application of satellite data in archaeological investigations has proven useful for landscape observation and analysis, the detection of archaeological traces, the reconstruction and monitoring of natural and anthropic processes, and the management and promotion of archaeological heritage. During the last few decades, the increasing number of SA studies has demonstrated innovative growth in archaeological disciplines due to the significant enhancement of spatial technologies, the advancement of visual inspection and image processing techniques, the development of data fusion methodologies, and the improvement of multi-temporal analysis methods. Therefore, a broad overview of the current situation in the concepts and approaches of SA is necessary to gain greater awareness of the current potentialities and limitations of this science to better address future studies. The present work provides a review of the scientific literature by exploring the different aspects of SA and the goals achieved to date in three main application fields: Detection, monitoring, and promotion of archaeological heritage. The contributions reviewed were divided within each of these three categories by analyzing the type of SA data and methods applied. The results indicate that (1) most studies aim to detect archaeological sites compared to monitoring and promotion; (2) optical images are used more than SAR data; and (3) techniques of image enhancement and visual interpretation are applied more than other data processing methods. This brief overview allows us to consider SA as an evolving discipline, an engine for cross-skills training, as well as a promising future science that can play a key role in the frontier of sustainable development and the new space economy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15123049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,12]],"date-time":"2023-06-12T01:59:07Z","timestamp":1686535147000},"page":"3049","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Innovative Growth of Space Archaeology: A Brief Overview of Concepts and Approaches in Detection, Monitoring, and Promotion of the Archaeological Heritage"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5599-7472","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marina","family":"Zingaro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth and Geoenvironmental Sciences, University of Bari, 70125 Bari, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0328-737X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giovanni","family":"Scicchitano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth and Geoenvironmental Sciences, University of Bari, 70125 Bari, Italy"},{"name":"Interdepartmental Research Center for Coastal Dynamics, University of Bari, 70125 Bari, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6685-0177","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Domenico","family":"Capolongo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth and Geoenvironmental Sciences, University of Bari, 70125 Bari, Italy"},{"name":"Interdepartmental Research Center for Coastal Dynamics, University of Bari, 70125 Bari, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Parcak, S.H.
