We're sponsoring Machu Picchu's restoration!

We're proud to announce that we're sponsoring CORE Archaeology and the Peruvian Ministry of Culture in protecting the one and only Machu Picchu! This global treasure is facing challenges from tourism and climate change, so a vital programme led by Daniel O'Shea is bringing together volunteers and archaeologists to safeguard the site through reforestation, trail maintenance, and erosion control.

Diggit is providing funding to support this project, and we'd like to say a huge thanks to our users - you make partnerships like this possible!

Urban recording in the heart of Hong Kong

Urban archaeology presents unique challenges, especially in fast-paced environments like Hong Kong. Diggit is designed to handle the complexities of dense stratigraphy, ensuring streamlined recording and reliable data -no matter the location.

On our recent visit, we saw firsthand how Diggit is supporting teams on the ground, helping them document their findings efficiently in one of the world’s most dynamic cities.

Diggit is now available in multiple languages
