Today’s archaeological and heritage field work needs have shifted to include a variety of specialised technologies.
Finding experts who provide quality data outputs and models just got easier.
Technology shouldn’t be an after-thought. Avoid the guess work and chat with one of our archaeological team. In our experience, sometimes what you think you need turns out to be different once in field. Archaeology and heritage projects are becoming more dynamic and technology can help!
We start by considering what question(s) you’re asking or problem your trying to solve, and tailor a solution to fit your needs.
Knowing what you need ahead of time can help you better prepare your proposal, RFT, or grant request.
Our team can supply you with a costing, methodology, and information about the technologies needed for your archaeology or heritage project.
We are experienced analysts and operators in the fields of geophysical, geographic information systems (GIS), remotely piloted aircraft / unmanned aerial vehicle (RPA/UAV), light detection and ranging (LiDAR), terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), magnetometry, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and GNSS (both RTK/PPK) survey.
Our partners have a range of skills and experience gathered on archaeology and heritage projects around the globe.

Our team have worked with Archaeologists around the globe both leading and participating in a variety of expeditions from the Blue Mountains, Mithaka, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Tanzania, Indonesia, Caribbean, Myanmar, Chile, Greece, Ethiopia, Torres Strait, and across Australia. We know and understand the unique needs research expeditions and local projects have.
Up & Under Services work and collaborate with researchers, educational institutions, and commercial organisations throughout Australia. A large part of our team’s collaborative experience includes working with many First Nations groups throughout Australia, specifically as part of applied research or heritage management. Successful collaborations come with knowledge of how to communicate at a range of levels with various stakeholders, the ability to engage with community, and understand the cultural significance and sensitivities applied to sites on Country.
Collaborative projects with public and private organisations requires recognition of different perspectives and it is our overall aim to provide quality, reproducible, accurate data for our clients.
