The aerial imagery has a long tradition of use as a surveying method in underwater archaeology. With the recent development of new technologies, its application has become more versatile and more common. This article will present the use of aerial photogrammetry in the archaeological survey of the submerged heritage of Nessebar, ancient Mesambria, on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. A major application is the generation of a digital bathymetric model (DBM) of the seafloor, which is reliable and accurate approximatel...

The study of the specific nature of the coastal zone requires a combination of a wide range of data from multi-beam and single-beam echosounding, LiDAR scanning, unmanned aerial vehicles, and generation of accurate high-resolution digital terrain models. In recent years, the development of seabed mapping technology has allowed for more precise mapping of the coastal zone. The complex analysis of data on relief, morphostructural units, contemporary tectonic deformations, geological and lithostratigraphical structur...
