Abstract

The T20 Tomb of the al Khudaira archaeological site (Sharjah, UAE) was excavated in February 2020 by the Spanish archaeological mission of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, with funding from the Sharjah Archaeological Authority. During the process, the research team carried out systematic photogrammetric drone shots of the excavated area to obtain a 3D digital model for each identified stratum surface. The models were processed by Global Digital Heritage. The objective is to have a sequential 3D model in which all the identified stratigraphic units are shown simultaneously. This model corresponds to the surface of the stratum UE2009, located at the lower part of the burial chamber. Finally, no bone remains were found in situ, which seems to indicate that the grave was looted. Project ID 04 Al Khudaira 04. 1738 Photos from a Phantom P4 Pro, V2. Processed in Reality Capture.
