The paper presents work procedures developed within the project Centre for the Research into the Oldest History of the Middle Danube River Basin. One of the activities is a search for and testing of new methods and technologies in the areas of documentation and presentation – photography, 2D and 3D photogrammetry, 3D scanning, visualisation, modelling 3D printing. We introduced the search for archaeological sites using various kinds of historical maps, ort-photomaps, satellite images and GoogleEarth-Pro, and provided details of the procedures applied during various kinds of photogrammetric documentation (from the ground, from pilotless models, from aeroplane, or a combination). There is a short description of experience with the use of individual instruments, from scanners for archaeological finds to the LIDAR. A special attention is given to the visualisation and digital modelling of movable and immovable archaeological finds. In the final part experience with a 3D printing of archaeological features is described. The obtained data are archived in the ISAU – a newly created Information System of the Institute of Archaeology. Practical experience confirms that there is no ideal method of 3D documentation suitable for all kinds of features. The outcomes are intensively used in the research process as well as during the documentation and renewal of archaeological cultural heritage, and, last but not least, for scientific popularisation aims in exhibitions and other events.
