“…It is possible to use SMTVI combinations to detect palaeo-channels, but its applicability differs from Northwestern India because the original composite consisted of rainy season months [23,34,35], while in the areas studied in this paper, it is the combination of dry and wet months similarly to [96]. This is due to the different climates of the areas (Figures 1-4).…”

The study of ancient irrigation is crucial in the archaeological research of arid regions. It covers a wide range of topics, with the Near East being the focus for decades. However, political instability and limited data have posed challenges to these studies. The primary objective is to establish a standardised method applicable to different arid environments using the Google Earth Engine platform, considering local relief of terrain and seasonal differences in vegetation. This study integrates multispectral data from LANDSAT 5, Sentinel-2, SAR imagery from Sentinel 1, and TanDEM-X (12 m and 30 m) DSMs. Using these datasets, calculations of selected vegetation indices such as the SMTVI and NDVSI, spectral decomposition methods such as TCT and PCA, and topography-based methods such as the MSRM contribute to a comprehensive understanding of landscape irrigation. This paper investigates the influence of modern environmental conditions on the visibility of features like levees and palaeo-channels by testing different methods and parameters. This study aims to identify the most effective approach for each case study and explore the possibility of applying a consistent method across all areas. Optimal results are achieved by combining several methods, adjusting seasonal parameters, and conducting a comparative analysis of visible features.

“…Both areas were studied using the composite of standard deviation values calculated from Sentinel-1 images. The visibility of palaeochannels was less effective using a custom combination of SMTVI [96], but it could still be used.…”
