In support of various research projects of classical archaeology at the University of Bonn, Matthias Lang and Till Sonnemann from BCDH fly for several weeks the Italian archaeological sites of Paestum (Campania region) and Cerveteri (Lazio) with drones. The combination of different frequencies of the integrated multispectral camera provides information about plant growth in spring. Large-scale mapping can be used to find evidence of archaeology located underground and invisible to the naked eye, such as foundations or pits.
