Collaborative Mapping of Archaeological Sites using multiple UAVs [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 UAVs have found an important application in archaeological mapping. Majority of the existing methods employ an offline method to process the data collected from an archaeological site. They are time-consuming and computationally expensive. In this paper, we present a multi-UAV approach for faster mapping of archaeological sites.

The Origins of Viking Age Dogs in Luistari, Eura, Finland
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We used stable (δ18O) and radiogenic (87Sr/86Sr) isotopic proxies to investigate the origins of dogs (Canis familiaris) buried in Viking Age graves at Luistari, Finland. While all 13 dogs exhibited oxygen isotope values compatible with local surface waters, 87Sr/86Sr ratios for two of the four dogs analyzed (graves 289 and 480) were compatible
