Its aim was to create a hypothetical 3D (virtual reconstruction and maquette) of the Kampanopetra basilica in ancient Salamis, one of the largest Early Christian churches in Cyprus. The basilica complex is an archaeological site excavated more than 50 years ago and in need of continuous conservation and special protection. The 3D outcome is useful to map the present state of preservation, for its future conservation and cultural valorisation. The workflow included 3D on-site documentation with image and range-based techniques combined with topographic measurements. The 3D hypothetical reconstruction model included 3 main parts, the documentation process, the authoring process and the integration of the model within the collaborative platform. The 3D reconstruction benefitted from the plans and drawings included in the archaeological report, combined with the utilization of the 3D documentation of the site along with comparative material - namely examples of contemporary basilica structures in Cyprus and the broader Eastern Mediterranean basin. The produced Reconstruction Models are hosted in two different Web Viewers, the 3D HOP and ATON. The research team pursues key questions, research problems and innovative approaches in archaeology and cultural heritage through the application of advanced science and technology and integrated expertise in humanities, digital heritage and visualisation. The hypothetical reconstruction provides a general visualization which can be used to inform the general public but also to provide the basis for its systematic and archaeologically detailed representation in the future.Attribution 4.0 International License3D Reconstruction, virtual heritage, modelling, large scale site, drone images, terrestrial photogrammetry, terrestrial laser scanning, dissemination of data, Web-based interactive solutions, multi-modal analysis3D Reconstructionvirtual heritagemodellinglarge scale sitedrone imagesterrestrial photogrammetryterrestrial laser scanningdissemination of dataWebbased interactive solutionsmultimodal analysis10.2312/dh.202533099 pages
