Ebert & Associates

In 1974, when Jim Ebert enrolled in the graduate program in the Department of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico, he took a position with the National Park Service and, along with Dr. Thomas R. Lyons and Robert K. Hitchcock, established the Remote Sensing Division. Within a few years this office had become prominent in developing applications of photointerpretation, photogrammetry and remote sensing to archaeological research and cultural resource monitoring and management, first in the southwest and then across the United States and in fact worldwide. Archaeologists still refer to the publications of the Remote Sensing Division (mostly out of print but available in many libraries) as well as articles by Jim Ebert and Eileen Camilli available elsewhere for guidance in using these techniques in their work.
