Photography has been central to the archaeological record since the earliest excavations, from fragile glass plate negatives to today’s vast digital archives. Each image helps preserve context, capture discoveries, and record the evolution of sites over time.
Drones have taken this further, revealing entire landscapes, showing scale at a glance, and offering perspectives once impossible.
This footage comes from a recent excavation in the Cotswolds (Bronze-Age to Anglo-Saxon activity). The client is Centaur Land, and thanks to SUMO GeoSurveys for the film.
And stay tuned, two red kites make a spectacular appearance at the end!
