Archaeology for above and below the surface.

Digital Solutions for Archaeology

Advanced 2D/3D landscape modelling, geophysics, and analysis for heritage & archaeology. We're your technology partner!

Field

2D & 3D imaging, GIS modelling using LiDAR, photogrammetry, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), ground-penetrating radar (GPR), magnetometry, and aerial UAV for archaeology, heritage, and conservation.

Lab

2D & 3D photogrammetry & LiDAR, GPR, magnetometry. Captured by UAV or TLS, modelled with Metashape and orthorectified with ArcGIS Pro or QGIS. Analysing both up and under the surface.

Analysis

GIS Mapping & Landscape Imaging. Explore the power of GIS to visualise and more deeply and richly analyse your next project from start to finish. Our experts will report our findings so you can make better, data driven decisions.

ON Prime Alumni 2023

The Up & Under team was proud to participate in the 2023 ON Prime program in Sydney. Dozens of conversations with Australian Archaeologists shaped the Up & Under business strategy. You spoke, we listened!

We are digital archaeologists for archaeologists.

What we offer...

Temporal & Spatial Insights

GIS is so much more than just dots on a map

GIS allows archaeologists to analyse and visualise spatial relationships among archaeological sites, artefacts, and environmental features, aiding in pattern recognition and data integration. It helps in site selection, conservation planning, and predictive modelling, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of archaeological research. GIS also facilitates cultural resource management (CRM), ensuring protection of heritage sites. Learn more...

Payloads

There are a growing number of payloads available for drones such as LiDAR

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones offer spectacular insights into what’s above and below the surface of the land and waterscapes you’re investigating. The benefits of using drones across archaeology are vast, allowing archaeologists the ability to obtain a much wider range of results as well as create interactive data for presentation and research purposes and provide raw data for engagement by future archaeologists and interested community members.

Millimetre precision of photogrammetric landscape captures

Photogrammetry in archaeology is a valuable technique known for its precise 3D reconstruction capabilities. It offers accurate representations of artefacts and archaeological sites, aiding in detailed analysis without physical contact, thus preserving the integrity of historical finds. Moreover, photogrammetry is cost-effective and efficient compared to traditional methods, making it an attractive choice for archaeologists. Learn more...

Geophysical Investigations Using GPR & Magnetometry

Geophysical approaches including GPR are unique techniques that can provide a strong context for past human activity, and evaluate their presence/absence within a heritage site. It provides the opportunity to map a site’s integrity with minimal disturbance. GPR has demonstrated the importance of geophysics as an approach to support Indigenous aspirations around concepts such as Connection to Country, Truth-Telling and Reconciliation. Outcomes can lead to broader social, cultural, political and economic impacts for local communities. Learn more...
