3D GIS for the visualization and analysis of archaeological data

Archaeologists deal with very inhomogeneous data that includes qualitative and quantitative, spatial and non-spatial data. A Geographical Information System (GIS) offers a way to manage, visualize and analyze complex data. Working with a 3D GIS allows to restore the third dimension to previously flattened 2D information such as maps and drawings, while at the same time enabling more complex analysis about volume or visual perception
