Level 1 Applied Research and Development Grant (ARD) from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)

Description

The goal of this project was to use geomatics techniques to update archaeology work processes. Field surveys were carried out on three excavation sites located in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. Digital surface models were created in addition to ortho-mosaics by using close range photogrammetry.

The company can now recover and analyze past archaeological data, provide reports more quickly and obtain photographic plans in color.

Our team also organized a dissemination activity for this project with UQAC students from the archeology department.
