Google Earth Satellite Maps of ANE sites
Google Earth has a number of satellite maps of ancient sites, and Jona Lendering and Bill Thayer have indexed many by country. The photos are not always as detailed as one would wish, but they do give a broad idea as well as some context of the surrounding areas (many of the sites are now all but engulfed in moderned cities).
The master list is at:
