Abstract
Two novel methods, which were applied for the recording of the site Pinchango Alto, LIP (Late Intermediate period; 1400 AD), are presented. After describing the archaeological site, the utilized technologies, terrestrial laser scanning, and photogrammetric processing of mini-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) imagery are illustrated, compared to traditional surveying methods, and research requirements for the documentation are discussed. Hence, the combined application of these technologies, the established workflow and the resulting products, which allowed a fast yet accurate recording of the site and its stone architecture, are presented and analyzed.
