This paper presents the proceedings of the SITAR III edition, held in 2013. Two previous conferences have been held, the first in 2010 and the second in 2011 and proceedings of both have been published, thus offering an example of continuity and assiduity in their cultural and scientific involvement. This third volume shows how the experience has evolved, how it has spread, and its main features, in comparison with other similar initiatives. The volume is composed of seven parts and contains 33 articles, but only a few of the papers are mentioned here. Essentially, the second section on the spread of the SITAR model, the seventh section, and the last section are considered, choosing some of the cases developed within the SITAR itself. Summing up, some general considerations concerning three indispensable goals to be achieved in the future are cited: the rooting of the territorial laboratory in the structure of the Superintendence, the construction of the digital heritage; the contextual vision of cultural heritage.

The article is addressed to the archaeologist, usually a “non expert” beneficiary of the innovative computer science techniques, but, at the same time, bearer of very complex requests. It proposes to give a concise and up to date view of the state of CAD software, especially as regards tridimensional graphics.
