The specialties in research department cover complex studies in history, philosophy, mythology, archaeology, anthropology, archaeoastronomy, and ancient architecture among the main ones.

The Research Division of our foundation is the heart of our operations, dedicated to the exploration, documentation, and analysis of events, figures, and historical periods of global relevance. Our team consists of highly trained historians, archaeologists, archivists, and experts in various humanities disciplines who work interdisciplinarily to provide high-quality, academically rigorous research.
In Archaeology makes all kinds of interventions with latest generation techniques that do not directly affect the heritage remains (remote sensing and non-erosive techniques).
A correct valuation of the archaeological remains makes that its potential presence does not suppose a difficulty for the correct development of the projects. We do development plans in sensitive areas and comprehensive plans of action in Historical - Archaeological and Natural Sites.

We combine archaeological history, science and technology for the recovery, study, classification and dating of submerged heritage.
U nderwater archaeology is often complementary to archaeological research on terrestrial sites because the two are often linked by many and various elements including geographic, social, political, economic and other considerations. As a result, a study of an archaeological landscape can involve a multidisciplinary approach requiring the inclusion of many specialists from a variety of disciplines including prehistory, historical archaeology, maritime archaeology, and anthropology
Anthropology is the scientific study of humanity, concerned with human behavior, human biology, cultures, societies, and linguistics, in both the present and past, including past human species. Our research department combines anthropological studies with other scientific disciplines such as history and archaeology.
Our work in archeoastronomy serve as our methodology and analysis of astronomy and archeology tools, analyzing the archaeological and historical evidence of the different human cultures in search of reconstructing the old astronomies and its diverse cultural aspects.
I n practice we seek to establish through field measurements the astronomical orientation of an archaeological structure. Likewise, calendars, cosmologies and cosmogonies, cosmological symbols and all evidence of cultural activity related to astronomy are studied.
The most iconic Classical constructs are the large stone temples that were built on a foundation of symmetry and order. As such, there is a longstanding tradition of architects looking back at this architectural history and reviving the values and ideals of the ancient world. From the Great Pyramids to lost civilizations in Europe, Africa, Asia, America and Oceania we leave no stone unturned in this epic exploration into the hidden history of ancient structures and sacred sites.
The Pi Rambla Heritage Foundation stands at the forefront of historical research by specializing in the technical analysis of ancient cartography (Paleocartography). Our methodology extends beyond the traditional historical study of maps; we apply reverse engineering and digital photogrammetry to decode geographic information found in portolan charts and maps from the Renaissance and the Middle Ages. Our thesis posits that these documents contain data derived from much older and more sophisticated sources.
