Abstract

The use of virtual imaging in the framework of preventive archaeology helps us understand, describe and interpret the vestiges that one finds on the terrain. 3D reproduction has often been considered as a tool for data dissemination that is intended for the general public. Nevertheless, for several years now the new tools available allow us to optimize work on the terrain as well as asking new questions about the interpretation and consequently, creating new prospects for research. The archaeological services, whose main task is related to prevention, must deal with these requirements for understanding while at the same time facing time limitations. At the archaeology office of the Département of Aisne, we were able to create a process for 3D representation on a project concerning a modern tile factory. This work made it possible for us to confirm or invalidate the hypotheses and to offer new answers to questions which had not been brought up in the field during the research project. Virtual reality in preventive archaeology is supported by a potential that is as scientific as it is communicative and which archaeologists will have to deal with.
