By studying the topic of remote sensing, we are confronting to a science that gives us comprehensive and complete information about the range or a phenomenon without physical contact with it. It also deals with quantifying the behavior of materials in interaction with electromagnetic energy. Actually , the science of remote sensing includes observing the earth from top to bottom (Earth observation systems. Along with other sciences, remote sensing helps other sciences, including archeology, as a helpful tool and as a strong knowledge with an interdisciplinary perspective.This method in archeology can quickly and accurately discover ancient artifacts deep in the earth and on the surface of the earth. Monitoring of ancient sites, by focusing on ancient sites and using satellites such as Spot, Corona, Landsat and Quickbird, is possible by analyzing satellite images and processing them. Analyzing data from satellites is very useful and practical in order to investigate terrestrial phenomena such as vegetation, surface soils, rocks, water, cities, human phenomena, etc. In the western region of Kermanshah and Iraqi Kurdistan, many ancient remains related to agricultural facilities, including water supply systems, have been left since the Sassanid era, which can be identified with the Corona satellite in the past landscape of the region. This article is trying to study the western region of Kermanshah and Iraqi Kurdistan by looking at the use of radar and thermal sensors for the archaeological knowledge of the environment and vegetation . and study the condition of soil, water and pastures (land use) in relation to the remaining facilities related to agriculture of the region. The study method of this article was library.
