Abstract
<p>This paper deals with the documentation, positional determination of urn graves of the Knovíz culture (1200 - 1000 BC), and geometric and positional determination of tumulus at the archaeological site located near the village Ctiněves, in the Usti region in the Czech Republic. Several hundred urn graves are located in the archaeological site and it is one of the biggest burial sites of Knovíz culture in the Czech Republic. RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) was used for the documentation and positional determination of urn graves and tumulus. RPAS was equipped by visible spectral range, two near-infrared range, multispectral and thermal camera (one camera for a single flight). The result is a unique data set documenting this archaeological site. Thanks to the suitable winter and spring conditions in 2016 urn graves and tumulus could be detected on the basis of vegetation symptoms. The paper is also focused on how to process the data and creation of a differential digital surface model.</p>
Highlights
RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System), UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) or UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) are growing in importance due to their versatility in the U.S Nowadays, for control and piloting, RPAS are equipped with sophisticated micro-instruments such as IMU, gyroscopes, GNSS receivers, wireless image insights, wireless controls, automatic stabilization, flight planners, etc
In the archaeological site near the Ctiněves village there were found over 500 urn graves of Knovíz culture and it is one of the biggest sites located on the territory of the Czech Republic
RPAS eBee was used for documentation of the archaeological site
Summary
RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System), UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) or UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) are growing in importance due to their versatility in the U.S Nowadays, for control and piloting, RPAS are equipped with sophisticated micro-instruments such as IMU, gyroscopes, GNSS receivers, wireless image insights, wireless controls, automatic stabilization, flight planners, etc. The subjects of the survey and documentation are tumulus and urn graves occurring in the archaeological site.
