Archaeology Photo Color Scale adds professional reference markers to archaeological field photographs. Insert Munsell color charts, measurement scales, and standardized color references directly into excavation photos, artifact documentation, and site photography. Essential for maintaining scientific accuracy and scale consistency across archaeological documentation projects.
Upload your archaeology or excavation photograph to begin. Select from Munsell color chart standards, simple color reference bars, grayscale calibration strips, or metric rulers. Position the scale bar in any corner or drag to custom locations. Adjust size to ensure the reference scale is visible but doesn't obstruct important archaeological features. Download high-resolution images ready for publication, archival storage, or scientific analysis.
Munsell color charts provide standardized soil color classification used worldwide in archaeology and geology. Perfect for sediment documentation, pottery analysis, and stratigraphy recording. Simple color scales offer basic RGB reference for general photography calibration. Grayscale bars enable accurate black and white photography documentation. Metric rulers add measurement reference for artifact sizing and spatial analysis in field photography.
Use color scales for excavation unit photography, artifact catalog images, soil profile documentation, pottery sherd analysis, lithic tool photography, and site feature recording. Essential when creating photo databases, publishing research findings, submitting to archaeological journals, creating field reports, or building digital archives. Ensures color accuracy when photographs are viewed on different monitors or printed in various formats.
Export images at full resolution to preserve detail for scientific analysis. PNG format maintains lossless quality for archival photography and detailed artifact documentation. WebP reduces file size by 30-50% for digital databases and online catalogs while maintaining visual accuracy. All scale types comply with archaeological photography standards and can be positioned to avoid obscuring stratigraphic layers or important artifact features.
