Images play a crucial role in archaeology. They come in various shapes and communicate diverse content. A special role is played by 3D media, which enjoy an ever increasing popularity in the field of archaeology. It offer vast possibilities for application and participate in generating a new understanding for archaeological research. Despite that, 3D methodologies are not as established as a fixed part yet as for example conventional 2D illustrations. In addition, there is still a lack of awareness in the archaeological community of what 3D modelling can actually achieve for research itself.
