3D Reconstruction as a Form of Interpretation

in Central Slovakia. Its aim is to present documentation and analytical procedures based on the
application of 3D techniques in archaeology. During the archaeological excavation of the Peťuša Castle,
several methods were used to document the castle hill, archaeological contexts and artefacts. The aim
of the paper is to reference the possibilities of 3D visualization, which serves not only as an interesting
presentation of archaeological results to the general public, but also for the work of the archaeologists
themselves. The primary goal is to use 3D technology in the analysis and subsequent interpretation in a
way that is not common in archaeological procedures. These methods are applied in the interpretation
of the architecture of the castle, walking ground level and the surrounding environment. The main
contribution is the clarification of spatial relations, visualization of the examined structures, and the
opening of polemics within the interpretation levels.
