“…The use of these techniques has been an important aid in understanding the development of structures with important hidden and diffuse pathologies. They provide precise knowledge of the structural evolution of the building, in-depth knowledge of the construction system used (Andreu et al, 2019 and aid diagnoses of these pathologies of construction.…”

Highlights: High-definition scanning and 3D printing have been used as tools in the detection of heritage pathologies, as well as in the study of materials. The Carcabuey castle has been digitized and the volumetric data recovered from the study of its materials typology and its stereotomy, obtained with laser scanning. The study of construction and material phases, and the pathologies produced by them, has been carried out from the 3D printing of the heritage structure parts. Abstract: Precise documentation is essential to carry out the restoration and enhancement processes of protected heritage contexts. Data collection has been increasingly perfected, to the point of being able to perform virtual recreations of complex historical sites, in order to carry out in-depth studies and analyses. An example is Carcabuey Castle (Cordoba, Andalusia), a large fortress with important medieval structures. It is a monumental site of the so-called "Frontier Castles", which were located between the Kingdom of Aragon, and the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada. With the aim of restoring it and highlighting its value, an in-depth study was developed for its conservation and subsequent intervention. The data collection included terrestrial laser scanning and vectorising all the structures, as well as a complex and complete photogrammetric survey. From these previous data and carrying out a deductive analytical methodology, a model was generated which, after being printed in 3D (different models at different scales of detail), would allow the volumes, materials and textures which make up the castle, to be studied. The multidisciplinary team, composed of architects, archaeologists, historians and engineers, made it possible to provide multifaceted and inclusive character to all the work, both in the study of pathologies based on the models, and in the construction phases, detected by the stereotomy of the ashlars, or chemical composition of mortars. Since then, with all the data obtained in the research, summarised in this article, it has been possible to carry out a correct diagnosis for the restoration and enhancement of the heritage site.

“…The use of GIS approaches and LiDAR technology for documenting sites and large scale remains is a wellestablished procedure (Opitz and Crowley 2013). Equally, the use of photogrammetry is a wellestablished practice for precision-recording of artefacts or material remains of medium-to-small size (Frank et al 2021;Andreu and Serrano 2019;Maldonado and Dorado 2020). Therefore, both approaches are accurate for the cases they were applied.…”

“…Using 3D models, scholars improved legibility of epigraphic Roman texts through manipulation of artificial lighting parameters (Carrero-Pazos and Espinosa- Espinosa 2018). In a similar case study, Andreu and Serrano (2019) showed how photogrammetry of stellae and the virtual manipulation of model attributes-including the generation of height maps-can improve readability of weathered or damaged inscriptions. Integrating virtual reconstruction of pottery and designs with other techniques like D-stretch on pottery (González et al 2019) and reflectance transformation imaging with basketry (Kotoula et al 2019), archaeologists developed techniques to visualize designs that had degraded.…”

The three-dimensional (3D) revolution promised to transform archaeological practice. Of the technologies that contribute to the proliferation of 3D data, photogrammetry facilitates the rapid and inexpensive digitization of complex subjects in both field and lab settings. It finds additional use as a tool for public outreach, where it engages audiences ranging from source communities to artifact collectors. But what has photogrammetry's function been in advancing archaeological analysis? Drawing on our previous work, we review recent applications to understand the role of photogrammetry for contemporary archaeologists. Although photogrammetry is widely used as a visual aid, its analytical potential remains underdeveloped. Considering various scales of inquiry—graduating from objects to landscapes—we address how the technology fits within and expands existing documentation and data visualization routines, while evaluating the opportunity it presents for addressing archaeological questions and problems in innovative ways. We advance an agenda advocating that archaeologists move from proof-of-concept papers toward greater integration of photogrammetry with research.
