Teotihuacan was mapped in 2014 by Israel Hinojosa with a Phantom 2+ drone. It was mapped again in 2016 by Dr. Gutierrez with a Phantom 4 drone. In 2016, an area of approximately 300 hectares was mapped in 2 days and produced a volume estimate for the Teotihuacan site core of approximately 5.6 million cubic-meters. This speaks to the efficiency and utility of implementing drones in archaeological research for site mapping and conservation.
