TY - JOUR AU - Crueger, Jens PY - 2018/12/11 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - The potential of drones in archeology: Reflections on opportunities and risks JF - TATuP - Zeitschrift für Technikfolgenabschätzung in Theorie und Praxis JA - TATuP VL - 27 IS - 3 SE - Special topic DO - 10.14512/tatup.27.3.27 UR - https://www.tatup.de/index.php/tatup/article/view/169 SP - 27-31 AB - <p>Drones, in combination with applications such as digital cameras, can make valuable contributions to the documentation of archeological excavations and to low-level remote sensing. Due to their efficiency and speed of data acquisition, their ability to explore difficult terrain, and their low purchase price, drones have the potential to disruptively change archeology towards a minimally invasive top-down approach. At the same time, in addition to various unclear framework factors, there is the risk that drones may become a threat to the archaeological heritage.</p> ER -
