The project RUPESTR3D. 3D Modelling and Digital Image Analysis for the Recording and Documentation of Rock Art in the Archaeological Park of Campo Lameiro (Pontevedra) was one of the three initiatives selected under the CISPAC Xan de Forcados 2024 Programme. Led by researchers Alia Vázquez Martínez and Alexis Maldonado Ruiz, the project focused on the use of digital technologies applied to the study and preservation of Galician archaeological heritage.
The research team carried out the three-dimensional documentation and geospatial analysis of the rock engravings in Campo Lameiro, combining terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry techniques using drones. The outcome was the creation of high-resolution 3D models that allow the precise recording and preservation of eroded or partially hidden carved motifs, contributing to a better understanding and protection of this unique heritage.
In addition, the project developed an interactive web viewer that enables both specialists and the general public to access digital representations of the rock panels, fostering their scientific dissemination and public outreach.
RUPESTR3D was presented within the framework of the 1st International Conference on Atlantic Rock Art, held on 20 September 2025 at the Archaeological Park of Rock Art in Campo Lameiro and on 21 October 2025 at the CISPAC facilities, strengthening the collaboration between research, technology, and cultural heritage conservation.
