Nuevas estrategias de digitalización dentro del megalitismo cantábrico: modelos 3d, visitas y aproximaciones virtuales del proyecto de La Cobertoria (Salas, Asturias)

This paper reports on the main methodological aspects developed during the Cobertoria’s Project, which aims to study the architecture and the landscapes linked with the prehistoric barrows in mid-western Asturias. The two main lines of the project are focused on digging remarkable sites (Cobertoria’s dolmen), as well as in updating the Sites and Monuments Record of Salas council. Regarding excavations, the archaeological record gathered in the dolmen of the Cobertoria allowed us to do several 3D photogrammetries. Two drone flights were developed over the tumulus for taking information in the two main stages of the excavations. As a result, several 3D models of different parts of the excavated area are accesible now on the web for purposes of interpretation and research. Finally, two virtual tours and two approachings to the necropolises are already available as part of a broader analysis of the landscape.
