Abstract

The application of new technologies in the field of archaeological heritage is generating a suite of new dialogues regarding its presentation. This is occurring because these technologies collect data that can be interpreted or read at many different levels, offering novel and unique formulas for conducting comprehensive valuations.

Taking this approach, a detailed description of the developments and results carried out within the creation of the "Virtual Motilla" is reviewed in this paper. The project developed from a set of projects that begin with the 3D digitization of the entire site, and then progress to the design of a visit through Virtual Reality, thermography and geophysical studies of the entire complex, and ultimately, virtual reconstructions of the settlement during the Bronze Age. The chosen methods, resources used, and results are presented in detail, describing all the methods and technologies used in this project. These tools have made it possible to advance the research, documentation, conservation and valorisation of this important and unique prehistoric monument.
