I imagine the newer tech comes from outside archaeology

Radar, X-ray, that sort of thing

They had radar and geomagnetic mapping back in the 1990s, at least - Time team did ~250 digs that were broadcast on channel 4 and are now all on youtube, most in HD now.

And "geophysics" were used to decide what and where to dig in most of them. They're making new episodes now, as well.

They were examples of technology that came from outside of archaeology. I don't know what the future tech is called as I've not seen it yet :P
