| 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. | |

| 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.
