<p>Large point clouds from radars and these-dimensional scanners are commonly used in Archaeology. However, in most cases these models cannot be properly integrated and used in software such as heritage management due to its large size. Therefore, some tools to make this management easier and optimize the processing are needed. In this work, we propone the integration between OpenVDB and GRASS in a C++ module to combine the widen functionality of GRASS GIS with the 3D models management efficiency of OpenVDB. Specifically, this application is used to combine the topographic information of a city with the 3D models of the most significant buildings. This application can be useful for both current cities as well as for virtual reconstruction of existing villages in the olden days and currently disappeared. </p>

<p>Nowadays information and communication technologies are fundamental tools for disseminating archaeology, as it shows the number of Virtual Museums available through Internet. However, many of them do not use all the possibilities that the new technologies could offer. This paper proposes the visualization of a prototype of Virtual Museum of Iberian Art by means of a stereo system. It can use both individual and collective tools in order to increase the authenticity sensation and the realism level of the observer.</p>

<p>Applications of Geographical Information Systems on several Archeology fields have been increasing during the last years. Recent avances in these technologies make possible to work with more realistic 3D models. In this paper we introduce a new paradigm for this system, the GIS Thetrahedron, in which we define the fundamental elements of GIS, in order to provide a better understanding of their capabilities. At the same time the basic 3D characteristics of some comercial and open source software are described, as well as the application to some samples on archeological researchs</p>
