DARKLab services
DARKLab is part of ArchLab – Sweden’s National Infrastructure for Archaeological Science.
Through ArchLab, our laboratory contributes to a coordinated national effort to strengthen archaeological research by providing access to advanced digital documentation, 3D analysis, remote sensing, and field-based survey methods.
At DARKLab, we offer a range of services designed to support archaeological investigations, museum work, and heritage projects. These include high-resolution 3D recording, landscape surveys with drones and lidar, structured-light and laser scanning, photogrammetry, and expertise in data processing and visualization. All services can be accessed directly through us or via the ArchLab user portal, ensuring that projects benefit from a broader ecosystem of methods, support, and best-practice guidance.

3D Scanning Lund Cathedral
Discover how DARKLab and the School of Aviation documented the medieval tower at Sundre on Gotland through a multi-scale 3D survey. The campaign combined drone-based RGB and LiDAR mapping of the surrounding landscape with high-resolution laser scanning and photogrammetry of the tower itself, producing accurate data to support architectural analysis, landscape interpretation, and long-term monitoring.
