Resumen

In recent times there has been an increasing use of advanced techniques of analysis and documentation in the area of cultural heritage, as happened before with engineering or architecture. Visualization has become a key element in the conservation of cultural heritage that allows the specialist to virtually manipulate the object. The adittion of different layers of information to the virtual models, such as conservation state or stratigraphy, gives the researcher the chance to get a much deeper and complete view of each object. The aim of this paper is to show the advantages of the combined use of two different visualization techniques: X-Ray and 3D Scanner. The results obtained allow us to explore archaeological objects from its core to the surface, avoiding direct contact
