In 2018, a project called ?Monastic settlement as a socio-economic phenomenon in early Islamic Northern Mesopotamia? has been launched at the Palacky University in Olomouc in cooperation with the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU, Faculty of Civil Engineering, dept. of Geomatics). The project is granted from the Czech Science Foundation for three years. The project will be carried out in the autonomous Iraqi region of Kurdistan, where the Czech Archaeological Mission, the longest continuously operating foreign team in Northern Iraq (since 2006), has long-term experience in the realization of projects. During several expeditions to this region, a big amount of scientific material has been collected. A part of this is a contribution of the CTU, which is focused on geomatics technologies, which means photogrammetric documentation of whole localities and detailed terrestrial photogrammetric modelling of objects and findings. The RPAS (remotely piloted aircraft system), often called simple ?drones? has been used for the mapping of entire archaeological areas. Both types of drones were used ? multi-copters and winged drones, which gave us hundreds of detailed aerial photos. From the photos captured, a highly detailed and precise digital surface model (DSM) and orthophoto can be derived. Otherwise, photos taken by classic documentation of archaeological findings were used for the creation of 3D models, which will allow us to research the modelled archaeological findings from other professionals off-site at our home department, while the findings can be deposited in the depository or restored. Partial project outputs focused on photogrammetric documentation is a main part of this contribution.
