The advantages of the digital revolution has improved numerous disciplines, including archaeology. The exponentially growing digital storage space, increasingly cost efficient and powerful hardware brough new possibilities in sensing, documentation and analysis. The work we do revolves around the following, constantly improved pipelines:
1. Drone surveillance → 3D terrain model (DSM) → Terrain analysis

2. Highlight reflectance Transformation Imaging (HRTI ) or Polynomial Texture Mapping (PTM)
