3D LiDAR technology is revolutionizing archaeological research, offering a new way to uncover the hidden details of ancient sites. A recent study, “3D LiDAR Mapping of Prehistoric Caves”, highlights this innovation in action. The Power of 3D LiDAR in ArchaeologyIn the past, capturing the intricate details of cave art and prehistoric sites was an arduous and often imprecise task. The University of Seville’s team employed both mobile LiDAR devices and terrestrial scanners to capture the cave’s morphology in unparalleled detail. The first method involved mobile LiDAR technology, which was used to scan the more difficult-to-reach areas of the cave.
