The use of drones can provide new perspectives during archaeological research and excavations. Especially in surveys
covering large areas with many underground artefacts, like old foundations, drones can reduce time and costs
considerably. This way the excavation activities can be more focused.
Besides 3D mapping of archaeological excavations, mapping of micro-relief in the landscape and visualizing
archaeological remains using infrared thermography or magnetometer and gradiometer technology.
Advantages:
From the air it is possible to see structures and patterns that are not visible from the ground, because the overview is
missing. The costs of using a drone are much lower than those of manned flights, making the technology more easily
accessible for archaeological purposes. Quick insight in the presence of underground artefacts making excavations
more focused reducing costs and time.
