Protecting Archeological Sites with Drone-Based Magnetometry

Archeology has greatly benefited from advancements in technology, particularly in the realm of magnetic prospection. This method has proven instrumental in detecting and mapping buried remains at archaeological sites since the 1950s.


However, traditional application of this approach has often been hindered by its costliness and time-consuming nature. Manual deployment and data collection were required, which could be particularly challenging given the sensitive nature of many archaeological sites. Altomaxx has revolutionized this process with its drone-based magnetometry solutions. These solutions offer several significant advantages over traditional methods. First and foremost, drones can be deployed rapidly, allowing for efficient assessments without disturbing dig sites or jeopardizing the integrity of cultural heritage sites. Additionally, the drones' ability to conduct inspections quickly and accurately enhances the overall efficiency of archaeological endeavors.


By leveraging drone-based magnetometry, archaeologists can gain access to detailed data about buried remains without the need for extensive manual labor. This not only streamlines the archeological process but also minimizes the risk of damaging or disturbing important historical artifacts. Altomaxx's commitment to technological innovation ensures that archeologists have access to cutting-edge tools that enhance their ability to uncover and preserve our shared human history.
