<abstract>
<p>The paper presents the first results of an interdisciplinary project related to the 3D documentation, dissemination, valorization and
digital access of archeological sites. Beside the mere 3D documentation aim, the project has two goals: (i) to easily explore and share
via web references and results of the interdisciplinary work, including the interpretative process and the final reconstruction of the
remains; (ii) to promote and valorize archaeological areas using reality-based 3D data and Virtual Reality devices. This method has
been verified on the ruins of the archeological site of Pausilypon, a maritime villa of Roman period (Naples, Italy). Using Unity3D,
the virtual tour of the heritage site was integrated and enriched with the surveyed 3D data, text documents, CAAD reconstruction
hypotheses, drawings, photos, etc. In this way, starting from the actual appearance of the ruins (panoramic images), passing through
the 3D digital surveying models and several other historical information, the user is able to access virtual contents and reconstructed
scenarios, all in a single virtual, interactive and immersive environment. These contents and scenarios allow to derive documentation
and geometrical information, understand the site, perform analyses, see interpretative processes, communicate historical information
and valorize the heritage location.</p>
