3D documentation and reconstruction techniques are increasingly applied in archeology and forensic anthropology casework. A proper documentation approach offers a virtual, full extent preservation of a site or specimen, e.g. a subsequently changing site or shape. To cover different types of scenarios, various equipment and methods should be used; each specialized for certain ranges and with individual benefits. Our aim is to show which potential techniques can be suitable applied in which context. Therefore, we cover a widespread requirement area from our casework. Our specimen comprise e.g. scattered human skeletal elements from an outside setting, archaeological or further objects to bone fragments. We present different techniques, such as drone-based photogrammetry of large scaled settings to high-level structured light scanning. Thereby, we highlight benefits and limitations of each approach in the workflow. An accurate 3D documentation facilitates a following reconstruction or investigation, even if the location or specimen has altered in a later stage. Therefore, it is crucial to know the different approaches in this rapidly developing field. We would like to present guidelines which state-of-the-art 3D documentation can be applied in archeology and forensic anthropology contexts.
