Archaeometry and Archaeological Analysis Unit

The CAI for Archaeometry and Archaeological Analysis offers services to society that society normally does not have the capacity to develop. Our main activities are to carry out geophysical and remote sensing studies. We are specialists in developing non-destructive archaeological techniques, highlighting prospecting studies with ground-penetrating radar, drone, lidar, multispectral camera, etc. We also work on three-dimensional documentation of objects by scanning them. We have also developed research techniques such as microphotogrammetric applications, either with a camera or a scanner, to document taphonomic processes. Within this discipline, the application to the study of carnivore tooth marks stands out, by which it can be differentiated whether the marks produced by a carnivore on a bone are made by one type or another. These types of techniques can be used by veterinary services to determine the judicial appraisals that occur when cattle farmers have their cattle killed by dogs or wolves (Yravedra et
