Digital recording and visualization techniques are used widely in archaeological research. The presentation will give a brief introduction to commonly used techniques. We will look at some low-cost 3D-recording technologies and the use of 3D-models to visualize results of archaeological projects. The potential of visiting archaeological site virtually with VR-gear with students has not fully be explored yet, but would open up new possibilities. In addition time-lapse recordings are presented as a tool to fully document fieldwork processes, but also to evaluate work processes and team work. The time-lapse recordings help to get a direct access to the archeological work almost without pre-selection filters
