A method of 3D visualisation of archaeological sites combining 3D spatial representation of particular excavation units with complex symbolic representation of the sites based on the Harris Matrix model is presented. The 3D representation provides information about geographic and geometric properties of the units, while the matrix representation reveals temporal relationships between the units and layers. Dynamic creation of the 3D models provides a high level of flexibility allowing users to freely select data and adjust the method of visualisation.
