The archaeological heritage constitutes the basic record of past human activities. Its protection and proper management is, therefore, essential to the study and interpretation of present and future generations. The protection of archaeological heritage must be based upon effective collaboration between professionals from many disciplines. In this study, knowledge from different sources and research areas has to be integrated and established for complete documentation of one of the most important archeological discoveries of recent time (baptism area, Jordan). Photogrammetry will be used for planning, recording, reconstruction, and revitalization of heritage site. Geophysical methods, such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic radiation (EMR), will be used to explore the underlying structure of the study area. For realistic representation of the study area, a three-dimensional geographic information application will be prepared for the baptism place in Jordan, where efficient generation, management, and visualization of such special data can be achieved.
