Drones in Archaeology - Episode 44

We got four Chris's (what are the odds!), and a couple non-Chris's on this one! This panel breaks down some of the details of drones in archaeology we haven't covered before on this show. Dr. Sally Applin's research specifically focuses on the "sociability" of drones in human environments. We tackle the legal, ethical, and social hurdles to effective drone implementation and ultimately question if it's all worth it.

High-Tech Petroglyph Recording - Episode 35

PaleoWest, a CRM firm based in the Southwest, won a contract to record 200 meters of the 1600-meter-long Little Petroglyph Canyon located on the ultra-secure China Lake Naval Weapons Station in Ridgecrest, California. The Navy wants to record the entire massive petroglyph assemblage but isn't really sure of what the best, most efficient way to do that is. So, PaleoWest was hired to test out different technologies and report on their findings. We talk to the PaleoWest Chief of Operations, Shawn Fehrenbach, about their efforts.

Kite Aerial Photography - Episode 33

On today's episode we talk to Dr. Michael Ashley about Kite Aerial Photography. What do you need to get started - how do transects work out - how many people are involved - and what's the cost. We also compare KAP with drone photography. At the end of the show we cover three apps that can help with photography and navigation.
