Abstract

​

The article is devoted to the use of aerial photography, using a quadcopter, in modern archaeological research. The main practical aspects of aerial photography are presented and the analysis of the functional possibilities of using a quadcopter for photogrammetric shooting is carried out. There are examples of the use of aerial photography on archeological sites in cities, which have become illustrative material for further distance research. In combination with traditional archaeological research, aerial photography has shown effective results and filled the archaeological research with new content.
