DistoX and TopoDroid (as well as other cave survey apps) are cited in several works in the firld of Cave Archeology.
For example,
K. Trimmis, Paperless mapping and cave archaeology: A review on the application of DistoX survey method in archaeological cave sites,
Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports 18: 399–407, February 2018
It is ramarkable that DistoX and TopoDroid are used also in a field not so closely related to caving, as Primate Archeology:
