Our Commitment to our Community Partners:
“By illustrating how different generations of community partners can work together to acquire data, the commitment to passing intergenerational knowledge will be honored and reaffirm onus and sovereignty over their narratives.” (Buratti et al, 2023)
We reaffirm our commitment to engaging in meaningful consultation and maintain accountability with our community partners to prioritize their questions and address any concerns they may have.
WHAT IS LOW-IMPACT ARCHAEOLOGY?
Context-sensitive, minimally invasive survey methods that attempt to reduce the damage of archaeology to cultural resources and foster greater collaboration with community partners. (Gonzalez,2017)
WHY SHOULD YOU CONSIDER AERIAL IMAGING?
Aerial Imaging allows for quick surveys using various mapping techniques to connect the sites with the archaeological landscape, complement oral traditions, and monitor the preservation of culturally significant areas. (Chelmus et al., 2018)
Aerial PHOTOGRAMMETRY
Aerial PHOTOGRAMMETRY
Aerial Photogrammetry reconstructs the spatial properties of objects or landscapes. This process captures overlapping photographs from different vantage points, allowing specialized software to analyze the images and calculate precise three-dimensional coordinates. As a result, photogrammetry finds applications in various fields, from cartography and surveying to archaeology and virtual reality, offering a cost-effective and efficient means of generating accurate 3D representations.

MULTISPECTRAL IMAGING
Multispectral imaging utilizes various high-resolution sensors to capture different light spectrum and thermal signatures at survey sites. Sensors may include Near-infrared, thermal cameras, RGB spectrum, infrared camera, and LiDAR.
The images assist in connecting the landscape and archaeological evidence to present-day community practices. Additionally, images can be applied to other survey mapping data to create comprehensive 3D models of survey areas. (Themistocleous et al., 2016)
