We used to map sites by hand, now we just fly a drone over them.
I spent a week sketching a dig in Crete last year, but this spring we got a quadcopter. It mapped the whole area in an hour. Anyone else feel like the old ways are getting lost too fast?

Our Crete dig still needed hand sketches for the pottery layers.

Used to think digital was the only way to go. Seeing a hand-drawn section just makes the whole stratigraphy click in a way a photo doesn't. Changed my whole view on field recording.
