Introduction

Photography has been the most important means for the footage of archaeological locations and work of art since the midst of the 19th century. It is of primary significance to all field archaeologists and, subsequently, an indulgent of the methods implicated in taking pictures are indispensable tools for any technical project in archaeological sciences. Picture making and cinematography has been the most important means for the footage or video recording of archaeological locations and work of art ever since the midst of the nineteenth century. It is of chief and major significance to all discipline of archaeologists and, as a result, perceptive and thoughtful of the procedures and methods implicated in taking pictures are indispensable utensils for any methodical and technical assignment in archaeological fields. (Fischer, 2009).In the last few years, digital photography turned out to be a major tool in archiving data from archaeological sites. Professionals in this field identify the gain of speedy and precise recording. Moreover they use digital approach techniques in order to record and document the findings of an archaeological site or the whole excavation. Digital approach gives to the archaeological research all the powerful tools for an accurate mapping and recording of the archaeological sites.

How to achieve Archaeological Data from remote site

This data collection should be performed step by step in order to adequately serve many purposes, including preservation:

Recording Techniques

To make a complete data collection, three types of registration are employed: recording sheets, photographic recording and the recording-layer design. These methods are currently applied in the context of other research in archaeology site, together with Canada, the United States and Australia. Using them well with a critical eye, in this way one can overcome any shortcomings that could present these methods

Recording Sheets

The recording sheets are divided into three types: the plug-environment, the plug-site and plug-panel. The plug-environment describes in detail the environment of the site and helps to highlight the characteristics of the natural landscape in which it occurs. It notes the location and access to the site, the description of the general location of the site and ecological features peculiar to the place. The plug-site presents a detailed description of the latter. It notes the archaeological past and current interventions, and photographic records, video and sketches by the site. Then there is the sampling carried out, the collection of surface surveys and excavations. The record ends with a section on conservation and recommendations made thereon. The plug-panel gives us a detailed account of what's in each panel. There is a detailed description of the site support, graphical content and all other important components of the panel.

Digital Photographic recording

The photographic recording allows for an efficient survey of the site and its components. Using certain photographic techniques, this statement can bring out the details difficult to perceive reasons to the naked eye. It also helps to provide a visual account of the conservation status of the site. In the case of site, it is very important to take several photographs because of the ...
