The spatial information technology with the core of 3S technology provides a scientific detection means

for understanding and discovery of the formation and evolution of the cultural heritage of the mankind.

Comprehensive use of the 3S technology in integrated detection is a new trend in future archaeology methods, and

multi-source information fusion and intercross-integration of methods are problems that need to be studied now.

This paper has discussed the latest development of the 3S technology in archaeological researches, and made a

review on the application situation, hot topics, development trends of GPS, RS and GIS in the current

archaeological work. On such a basis, the authors provide an integrated study architecture of archaeological

information supported by 3S technology, with the emphasis placed on the central role of multi-source and

heterogeneous data in the archaeological study. The research framework has considered the related scale in the

constraint of diverse models, and it provides a universal and scalable research scheme for environment

archaeology.
