Archaeology & Heritage Drone Surveys by Atom Aviation

we are proud to offer specialized drone survey solutions tailored for archaeology and heritage site preservation. By leveraging cutting-edge drone technology, we provide archaeologists, historians, and preservationists with high-resolution aerial data to document, analyze, and protect culturally significant sites. Our drone services enable non-intrusive exploration, mapping, and monitoring of heritage areas, ensuring the preservation of history while advancing modern research.

Why Choose Drone Surveys for Archaeology and Heritage Sites?

Non-Invasive and Safe Exploration
Traditional methods of archaeological surveys can be time-consuming and sometimes intrusive, potentially disturbing delicate artifacts or landscapes. Drone surveys offer a non-invasive alternative, allowing detailed documentation from the air without disturbing the site itself. This is especially beneficial for sensitive or restricted areas.

Detailed Aerial Mapping
Equipped with high-resolution cameras, LiDAR, and multispectral sensors, our drones capture detailed aerial imagery and 3D models of archaeological sites. These tools allow for the accurate mapping of excavation areas, the identification of hidden structures, and the monitoring of changes over time.

Cost and Time Efficiency
Drone surveys significantly reduce the time and manpower required to survey large or difficult-to-access sites. Traditional ground surveys may take weeks or months, but drones can cover vast areas in a fraction of the time, providing rapid results without compromising accuracy.

Versatile Applications for Heritage and Archaeology:
Our drone surveys are ideal for a wide range of applications in the archaeology and heritage sectors, including:

  • Aerial mapping of archaeological digs
  • Monitoring of ongoing excavations
  • Creation of 3D models for site analysis
  • Condition monitoring of historical monuments
  • Detection of buried structures using LiDAR technology
  • Cultural heritage site conservation planning

How We Conduct Archaeology/Heritage Drone Surveys:

Our drone surveys for archaeology and heritage sites combine high-precision equipment with expert knowledge of archaeological practices. We utilize drones equipped with advanced sensors like LiDAR, multispectral cameras, and thermal imaging to capture data on terrain features, potential artifacts, and site conditions.

Our post-processing software converts this raw data into detailed maps, 3D reconstructions, and orthophotos, enabling archaeologists and heritage managers to study the site from multiple perspectives. These deliverables assist in the documentation of the site, ensuring its conservation for future generations.
