In the last years, Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) or drones have invaded the civil market being applied to differentareas. The possibilities provided by this emerging and innovator method have created a great interest in the field of Archaeology.As a result, there there is a lot of new scientific literature focused on this theme: Farjas et al. (2015), Verhoeven et al. (2013),Hill (2013) or Eisenbeiss y Zhang (2006) are just some examples. The development of the variability on commercial sensors(cameras), adapted to these systems (especially on precision agriculture), allows the use of high resolution spatial tools with ahigh spectral resolution. Therefore, it is possible to place multispectral cameras on those systems that cover wavelengths of thevisible spectrum, near-infrared (NIR), thermographic or shortwave infrared (SWIR). All of those ones wavelengths are similarto those from satellite images. On the same way, there has been a parallel advance in processing photogrammetric software atlow altitude for the creation of image mosaics, orthorectification and georeferencing of the images, allowing the archaeologistto create a wide range of products such as topographical plans and accurate mapping, orthophotos, 3D models and digitalelevation models.
