A recent New York Times article highlighted the growing use of drones
by archaeologists, including by Morag Kersel, an anthropolgy professor
at DePaul University and CAMCHL's Affiliated Faculty Member.
The article focused on the use of drones in protecting archaeological
sites in Peru, but cited Professor Kersel's work with drones in Jordan.
As Professor Kersel stated in the article, "[a]erial survey at the site
is allowing for the identification of new looting pits and
determinations of whether any of the looters' holes had been
revisited[.]"
