Abstract

Built heritage constitutes a layered record of human activity, often surviving as fragmented architecture and dispersed
artefacts. Historical excavation practices frequently removed architectural elements from their original
contexts, generating spatial and interpretive disconnections. This study explores the potential of digital technologies
to virtually reunite displaced heritage, focusing on selected statues and architectural fragments from the Hellenistic
city of Priene, now divided between the archaeological site and museums in Berlin. Through photogrammetry, laser
scanning, and 3D modelling, the research investigates original spatial relationships and proposes a dual framework in
which digital recomposition enhances both archaeological interpretation and museum presentation while preserving
the integrity of the original artefacts.
