During the execution of works, especially in areas in northern Chile, we frequently come across unexpected archeological findings in the subsoil. This generates shutdowns, design modifications, lengthy delays and significant costs. The findings may include various materials such as ceramic, textiles, metal remains, glass, lithic remains, shell middens, bones and bone remains, among others. Early detection of this evidence would allow us to make better decisions and prevent costs.

We are looking for solutions that allow us to anticipate the presence of archeological remains or risk areas before intervening in a piece of land through scanning technologies, predictive models or the use of existing data.

We are particularly interested in the possibility of combining georeferenced historical data (records of findings, presence of Indigenous peoples, areas of cultural interest) with field information and subsoil scanning to estimate probabilities of findings in each construction area.
