Digital technologies have numerous applications in archaeology ranging from the documentation of the archaeological evidence and the analysis of research data to the presentation of results for a wider audience. This volume consists of various studies on the use of methods such as LiDAR (light detection and ranging), archaeological prospection, visibility, mobility and the analysis of the spatial distribution of archaeological objects, applied in various contexts. The case studies vary widely and include the Late Pleistocene in the Northern Iberian Peninsula, the Roman Republican period in Southern Italy, the Formative period in the Andes and the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War.

The aim of this project is to show how building 3-D models creates a new form of communication, through which archaeological objects can be presented and understood both by specialists and the general public. These models allow us to remove the objects from their display cases and handle them to satisfy research needs, or simply to view them in detail. The science and technology behind the process are quite complex, but after defining and perfecting the different stages of the process, there can be no doubt that the end result is of great interest and validity. This has been demonstrated by the specific 3-D digitalisation programmes that different institutions are using, such as the Smithsonian or the Louvre, or a number of the Italian museums. The technical capacity to make good quality 3- D models is a recent milestone, and just five years ago the equipment was very costly, and the data were difficult to handle. Today, 3-D models can not only precisely reproduce the geometry of an object, but also its colour. To demonstrate this and as a pilot project, we have prepared this publication, which has two parts: a series of printed notebooks, with the basic information on a selection of different Iberian artefacts, and a digital part with 3-D models stored on servers, which can be accessed for free.
