After using lasers to map the Maya Lowlands, researchers have updated their estimates of the total Maya population during the Late Classic Period (A.D. 600 to 900). When you purchase through links on ...

A new approach to airborne 3D scanning has been developed. 3D scanners take many forms, such as handheld, turntable, tripod, and more. But one of the more interesting approaches is done using drones.

A pioneering study reveals how archaeologists' satellite tools can be repurposed to tackle climate change. By using AI and satellite LiDAR imagery from NASA and ESA, researchers have found a faster, ...

Discovering Maya cities used to involve bushwhacking through the jungle, schlepping gear and sidestepping snakes. And over the course of his career, Professor Marcello Canuto has done plenty of that.
