The digital language makes it possible to reproduce non-materially constructed places, making them realistically perceptible and usable in the virtual dimension. The possibility of reconfiguring non-existing works in three dimensions is a graphic opportunity to investigate the contents expressed by the cultural heritage contained in projects not completed.
In this paper we will briefly discuss the evolution of the solutions that the Chair of Etruscology of the Bologna University applied to the topographic survey of the archaeological excavation in the Etruscan city of Marzabotto (BO). The operational choices, the instruments and the software used in the latest excavation fields will be presented here. We will then illus- trate the applied experimental workflow and its possible further development in order to take full advantage of the possibilities and benefits offered by the 3D survey techniques.
