Archaeologists and historians are invited to present, compare and discuss their respective sources, methodologies and perspectives with the aim of finding possible consistent chronological and geographical trends and breaks.

For this purpose, three early medieval buildings hav e been studied. A specific modelling strategy has been applied to each of them and the research has been focused on several aspects, such as the level of formal simplification, the level of metric accuracy or even the level of development (LOD) properly adapted to the singularities of historical buildings. As result of this analysis, some conclusions are described, of which common thread is to propose keys to reach the feasibility of the application of the BIM methodology in the field of cultural heritage, both during the creation of the model and when using it.

This site is currently composed by a fortified enclosure and two churches, one of it a half rock-cut example. The updated drawing survey of the latter along with its archaeological and geological analysis have made it possible to decode its building process, to confirm its unfinished state, and to approach its later uses. Outputs enable besides opening new questions regarding the likely form, function, chronology and artisans of this exceptional complex, of which typology has nothing to do with the rock-cut churches known in al-Andalus and thought to be coeval.

Written and graphic records generated by those interventions have been and are still a valuable source of information to research the restoration history in Portugal for that period. This paper aims to complete that vision by taking as basis the results obtained by the archaeological analysis of some early medieval buildings restored by the DGEMN in the second quarter of the 20th
century, namely the churches of São Pedro de Lourosa and São Pedro de
Vera Cruz de Marmelar. It is thereby intended to show the material reality of those projects and their impact on constructions that were formerly mainly unknown by the research, and also to reflect on the loss of historic information that they meant, as it is demonstrated by their
archaeological analysis.

data achieved by means of the analysis of
the monastic churches of San Miguel de Escalada,
San Cebrián de Mazote, Las Mesas de Villaverde and
Santiago de Peñalba, this work aims to approach the
building process that these buildings entail, the building
technology that they employ, the technological
transfer that they show and the chronological and
building context within they are framed.

The complex of San Giovanni is located to the south of Palermo, on the ancient right bank of the river Oreto, at one of the main access points to the city. Written sources and new archaeological data indicate that the territory of Palermo was densely inhabited during the 9th-12th centuries, with neighbourhoods, mosques and other buildings located both inside and outside the city walls, though unfortunately these have not yet been discovered or thoroughly investigated. Thanks to this project funded by IPCE-MECD in 2014, a drawing survey, along with the archaeological and documentary analyses were carried out with the aim of better understanding the transition from the Islamic to the Norman period as well as the whole history of this extraordinary archaeological site.

However, virtual reconstructions of lost buildings still offer hermetic interpretations, so that it is almost impossible to understand them critically. Such models usually avoid the diachronic perspective that is closely related to the evolutionary and complex essence of historical constructions. The present paper addresses the innovative case study of the Early Medieval monastic church of San Cebrián de Mazote (Valladolid, Spain), which has been analised to know the original building and its later additions and restorations. Besides that, this paper proposes theoretical guidelines to develop current digital 3D models of historical buildings into advanced ones by means of implementing their transformation sequence and complex essence (metadata), as well as the interpretation process that has been taken during the research (paradata).

Combining these studies (and methodologies) has made possible to identify the original form of the church, to pinpoint the origin of the materials and to characterize thus the skills of the workshops responsible for its construction and decoration.

This fact has permitted thus to advance towards the comprehension of the using of new material and the reusing of old one, both constructive and decorative, showing how its combined analysis is the only way of understanding the reusing phenomenon.

previous one, which determines its half-rock form. That construction commonly identified as basilica, form and function here discussed, is constructed in a second moment
and reuses architectonic sculpture dated to the Visigothic period. The hall is introduced either in that moment or a bit later. After a long period of abandonment, some reforms
are carried out in the building before being definitely deserted. That building recorded by J. Cornide at the end of the 18th century will be then and later on successively excavated and restored. All these activities together will be responsible for its current structure.
