🇬🇧 New research published, born from this summer’s work: a systematic review of 132 publications exploring how thermal and multispectral drones help uncover traces of buried archaeological remains. It takes stock of current approaches and open challenges—and lays the groundwork for something bigger that’s brewing!
🇮🇹 Nuova ricerca pubblicata! Frutto del lavoro di quest’estate: una revisione sistematica di 132 pubblicazioni su come i droni termici e multispettrali aiutano a individuare tracce di resti archeologici sepolti. Un punto sulle metodologie attuali e sulle sfide ancora aperte, propedeutico a qualcosa di più grosso che bolle in pentola!

Thermal and Multispectral UAV Remote Sensing in Archaeology: A Systematic Review of Sensors, Platforms, Acquisition Contexts, and Processing Workflows (2013–July 2026)
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, or drones) carrying thermal-infrared (TIR) and multispectral (MS) sensors have become established instruments of archaeological prospection. Both are indirect, surface-proxy methods: they record radiance emitted or reflected by the ground surface or the plant canopy,....
