Archaeological photo scales are essential for excavation photography, finds recording and laboratory documentation. They give every image a reliable metric reference, making it possible to understand the size of a context, object, section or surface long after the photograph has been taken.

Professional archaeological photo scales made in France

Archaeological photo scales are essential for excavation photography, finds recording and laboratory documentation. They give every image a reliable metric reference, making it possible to understand the size of a context, object, section or surface long after the photograph has been taken.

Strati Concept photo scales are made in France and designed for professional use. The aluminum flat and angular scales use a printed anti-glare, anti-scratch coating for strong readability in field conditions, while magnetic MicroMagnet scales are made for close-up documentation and work on metal supports.

Flat, angular or magnetic photo scale?

  • Flat photo scales: a versatile choice for trenches, sections, finds, surfaces and laboratory photography.
  • Angular photo scales: self-standing scales that keep the graduations visible from the front, useful for objects, vessels and vertical shots.
  • Magnetic photo scales: compact flexible scales for small finds, close-up work, metal trays and laboratory setups.

Choose the right size and color

Small 1, 2 and 5 cm magnetic scales are ideal for close-up object documentation. Aluminum scales from 5 cm to 1 m cover most excavation contexts, sections and wider field records. RWB, BW and BY colorways make it easier to choose a scale that remains visible against different soils, stones, ceramics and backgrounds.

Designed for excavation and lab workflows

A good scale should be readable, durable and easy to place quickly. These scales are made for repeated field seasons, daily finds photography and professional documentation protocols. They can be used alone or combined with north arrows, colorimeters and letter boards for a complete visual record.

Complete your photo documentation kit

If you need a ready-to-carry setup, explore Strati Concept photo scale kits. For orientation and color reference, add north arrows and colorimeters. For context labels in excavation photos, pair your scales with archaeology letter boards.
