Top of the Crops!

 
 
 

Drone Multispectral Surveys have the capacity to detect sub-surface features with archaeological potential, even on sites hidden beneath crops.

With the crop season approaching, now is the perfect time to book a Multispectral Survey for your archaeological assessment.

We Don’t Need No Vegetation

 
 
 Drone Multispectral Surveys have the ability to identify sub-surface archaeology via the overlying vegetation. With the capacity to survey large areas in a single day and over landscapes restricted by vegetation - in particular, crops - Multispectral Surveys can greatly inform archaeological assessments, quickly and cost-effectively.

This method can be used to complement geophysical surveys, and even serve as an alternative when crops inhibit access on to site.

Interpretive Report

 
 
 A series of raster transformations can be performed using GIS, and interpreted in a detailed report to discuss the findings. Our analysis of the various index models provide a greater scope to identifying sub-surface features.

We also conduct an RGB earthwork survey simultaneously to the multispectral to provide base mapping and a richer understanding of the site.
