From the Archaeological Record to Virtual Reconstruction' describes the use of New Information Technologies (IT) for the analyses and interpretation of archaeological record of the San Chuis Hillfort (San Martín de Beduledo, Allande, Asturias, Spain). The data gathered during the eight excavation campaigns conducted by Francisco Jordá Cerdá in the sixties and eighties of the 20th century was mechanised and digitalised. Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) of the hillfort was performed, followed by a creation of spatial analysis through the establishment of relations between the elements of the archaeological record. At the end, having studied and investigated the site’s urban evolution throughout its occupation period (890 cal. BP – 530 cal. AD), a virtual reconstruction of the hillfort in its different settlement phases, presenting various evolution scenarios, is presented. In the process a work methodology and a set of computer applications adapted for each step of this process have been estableshed, such as insertion of data records in a database, planimetry drawings, hillfort virtualization, etc.

Juana Molina Salido obtained a PhD in Prehistory and Archaeology. She has a long experience as an archaeologist, specialising in the application of New Information Technologies in the development of archaeological work, both in the field and in the cabinet. In addition, she is a Technical Specialist in Heritage Virtualization. She is currently collaborating on several research projects at the UNED, the Middle Paleolithic site of Jarama VI and on the hillfort that is the subject of this book.
