Иберийская цитадель в Калафеле. Сравнение двух моделей: реальной и виртуальной
Calafell’s open air museum
Excavation works led by Joan Santacana and Joan Sanmartí were conducted between 1983 and 1993
In 1992, began a reconstruction of a large part of the settlement following models in the Nordic countries, especially the site of the Iron Age of Eketorp, on the island of Öland in Sweden.
The P- III site was restored (IV-III century BC) Other phases were preserved and don´t have been restored.

From 2011 to 2014 a group worked on a virtual model of the archaeological site.
From reality
to digitalization
We believe that the most important thing of archaeological research and the application of restoration / reconstruction methods (on site and/or virtual model) is not to gain a realistic picture, but a demonstration of a variety of hypotheses and methods of a scientific process of work. From our point of view, we should show all possible hypotheses obtained by different methods.
The difference between hypotheses and historical truths
