| Summary: | This study applies surveying and representation techniques to analyze the cavities of the Cumae site, an archeological park located in the Phlegraean Fields in the Campania region, providing a documentary basis for monitoring, maintenance, and enhancement efforts. The process core is the comparative management of the numerical models produced employing technologies such as laser scanning, photogrammetry, and structured light scanning, supported by a georeferenced topographical network. The 3D models produced are used for the extraction of ortho-planes and bidimensional drawings of the various cavities from which to initiate the procedures for redesigning and analyzing the entire artifact. Specific research carried out on the <i>Antro della Sibilla</i> enabled a detailed 3D description of the tuff-carved surfaces, helping the interpretation of the manufacture in the optic of consolidation and musealization interventions. The interdisciplinary approach employed, in which historical–archeological, geological–structural, and diagnostic sciences contributed correlatedly, ensures a comprehensive program of data representation. |
