The drawing of archaeological sites is important for the field of archaeology. On the one hand, information at various stages of excavation of archaeological sites should be preserved; on the other, excavation of the sites should not be interrupted. Therefore, this topic has always been explored by archaeologists. The archaeological excavation of the acrobatics figurines pit (K9901) of Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum was used as an example to record the site information for future archaeological studies and cultural relic protection. Aiming for large scale archaeological projects, a method of digital close range photogrammetry was developed for application to field archaeology mapping. The threedimensional parameters at certain control points during excavation of relics site were obtained using electronic total stations. The multistrip sequence images of the archaeological excavation site were taken using a nonmetric digital camera. Using the digital photogrammetry method, a digital elevation model (DEM) and a digital orthophoto map (DOM) can be obtained that reflected the distribution of the objects in the excavation site. The contour lines of the relics from the orthophoto images were used to construct an orthographic vector graph of the archaeological excavation site. It recorded the positions of the relics and their shape and distribution. This experiment showed that it was possible to obtain, rapidly, highly precise digital maps of large archaeological sites. The method is worth applying to other similar projects.
