A drone equipped with a VIS-NIR hyperspectral camera is a versatile tool for UAV-based archaeological surveys. It captures high-resolution images that are processed to create orthophotomosaics in the visible and near-infrared spectrum (350 - 1000 nm). This technology enables precise mapping and documentation of large areas quickly and efficiently, making it invaluable for discovering buried features of archaeological interest through the detection of proxy indicators of archaeological presence due to reflectance differences. The ULTRIS X20 hyperspectral camera acquires in the wavelengths 350-1000 nm, 164 bands, with a resolution per image of 410 x 410 pixels.
