Abstract
Abstract. This contribution shows the preliminary results of the multidisciplinary cooperation of archaeological, technical and heritage issues using the example of the megalithic tomb Kleinenkneten II. The tomb was excavated in the 1930s, but big parts of the documentation have unfortunately been destroyed. Furthermore, some ancient interpretations need to be objectively reviewed. More than 500 historical image data visually document the historical excavation situation. In addition, the current situation was recorded in 3D using modern methods. Geodetic products, such as orthophotos, can be derived from modern data and compared with old plans. Also, a point cloud was calculated from historical images, which can be compared with the current situation. The combination of modern and historical data enables new archaeological interpretations. From a museum perspective, strategies for the construction of authentic value of the 3D model is considered, as well as its communication to the public.

The multidisciplinary work of archaeology, photogrammetry and museum approach was presented on the example of the megalithic tomb Kleinenkneten II
The base for the investigation is given by historical image data and a modern 3D model of the current situation
Summary
This paper reports on preliminary results of a research project which was initiated in order to ensure the safekeeping of valuable archaeological knowledge through digitisation. In several case studies from the collection of the Landesmuseum Natur und Mensch Oldenburg, Germany, in a cooperation with the Jade University of Applied Sciences Oldenburg, the research project presented here aims to examine how digital archiving and visualisation tools can promote the preservation and presentation of sensitive cultural heritage objects. The digitisation of these long overlooked and delicate source materials should help in tracing the excavations, and guarantee the survival of the information for future generations of researchers
