Abstract

Application of the 3D documentation is a relatively common procedure employed at particular archeological excavations. In praxis we sometimes encounter various challenges that make us think about the practicality of its use. From one perspective, there are possibilities to amend the fieldwork methodics in order to collect the necessary 3D data, from another perspective we contend with a time-consuming post-processing of the data collected and its further use, be it for scientific or representational purposes. We started to gather the data used in 3D photogrammetry at Pohansko, near Břeclav, in 2012. Over the years this became an inseparable part of documentation of various scientific projects employed at the site. With the development of 3D visualization tools the output of the data became also a way to better understand and observe the investigated objects. In the paper we will provide examples of application of the 3D documentation in investigation of a settlement, a fortification and a river basin. We will focus on situations in which the use of 3D photogrammetric data proved useful and the specific ways how to implement and visualize the data in GIS programme.
