English abstract
In the last couple of decades, archaeological fieldwork has seen the increasing use of Structure-from Motion (SfM) photogrammetric techniques to map and record archaeological evidence. These techniques are particularly apt and efficient when sites or monuments located in areas of difficult access need to be documented, or when constraints not directly connected with the archaeological investigation process itself dictate short execution time. This note accounts for the application of SfM-photogrammetry to document largely diverse archaeological features located in the area of the ancient oases of Salūt, in the central Sultanate of Oman, aiming at illustrating the remarkable flexibility of this cost-effective method, which is bound to become a standard tool not only for archaeological research but also for subsequent preservation, valorization, and dissemination of the archaeological and historical heritage.
