ABSTRACT={In the panel of non-invasive techniques, LiDAR airborne surveys by airplanes, helicopters or even satellites have, for several decades, proved their utility in the exploration of large wooded, forest or inaccessible sectors. The miniaturization of the sensors made it possible to carry powerful LiDAR sensors under light civil UAVs, multirotors or fixed-wing drones. These microdrones can overcome the limitations and disadvantages of traditional aviation. Archaeology has, of course, benefited from this technology, which is complementary to the LiDAR plane survey, the photogrammetry and even the terrestrial scanner survey. Points clouds, shaded MNTs and 3D models reveal microtographic artifacts that are not always identifiable in the field, which feeds archaeologists research work and helps to establish excavations. New digital DTM treatment tracks are being drafted.}}
