[0002] Currently, archaeological site exploration relies heavily on a combination of manual surveys and a single or small number of sensors. During field operations, traditional archaeological teams obtain stratigraphic and archaeological information through manual excavation and cross-sectioning, while simultaneously scanning the target area point by point using equipment such as ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and metal detectors. Aerial photography using drones, equipped with optical or multispectral cameras, enables large-scale terrain and vegetation monitoring. Some research, in laboratory or small, controlled environments, is experimenting with the combined deployment of multiple sensors, including sonar, geological radar, and inertial measurement units (IMUs), aiming to simultaneously detect and collect data from archaeological targets at varying depths and types.
