The studies on spatial information in geomatics are required by the other disciplines related to spatial approach. In this context, different surveying techniques can be used according to the archaeological measurement scale, such as tachymetry, photogrammetry, airborne laser scanning (ALS), RADAR, global positioning systems (GPS), for exploring, positioning, archiving and modelling for related cultural heritage. There is always a possibility to damage archeological remains during excavation. Therefore, especially in terms of subsurface archaeology, it is significant to decide on a nondestructive method for modelling archaeological remains. Remote sensing technology provides varied methodology including different instruments that will be chosen due to requirements and financial support of the intended archaeological project. One of the methodologies is active remote sensing, which provides additional information to analyze in terms of buried archaeological remains. This study is targeted on evaluation of ALS data for buried cultural heritage in Carnuntum (Roman legionary camp in Austria). The newly approach is depended on radiometric calibration of additional recorded physical parameters per each echo and get more information on reflectance properties of related target. The procedure composed by Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (IPF) in Vienna University of Technology was followed during radiometric calibration process. Result of the process (reflectance model) was analyzed in comparison with orthophotos and city plan of Carnuntum. The obtained reflectance model includes traces of buried archaeological remains.
