This concepts paper advocates for integrating swarm robotics into archaeological surveying practices. Conventional archaeological surveys, conducted on foot, often entail labour-intensive, time-consuming, and potentially hazardous tasks in vast and challenging terrains. Drawing inspiration from successful robotic missions, a swarm can assist the archaeologist in the field. The Archebot project's primary objective centres on creating a flexible system that efficiently pinpoints areas of archaeological potential within expansive landscapes. Ultimately, the proposed hexapod robot by Teknolus emerges as a promising platform, equipped to navigate challenging terrains and withstand environmental adversities.
