The purpose of this paper is to show an easy and interactive modality of bringing to the public (archeologists and non-archeologists) a Neolithic cemetery excavated half a century ago and not yet published completely. The archaeological excavations realized a long time ago and not published yet are a reality for many of our countries. Unfortunately, in these cases, a recovery of the complete set of data is almost impossible, but we have to do our best to bring to the public the results without forgetting to show where the information is not very precise due to the time passed from the excavation to the processing of the data. The approach is one that combines 3D representations of the area, interactive maps and archeological data (what can be recovered), all in one. The final result is a dynamic and friendly output for a group of scientific data. The idea is to stress once more the fact that archaeological science is not only for the benefit of archaeologists themselves, but the final aim is to bring to the large public the information obtained from the excavation. And this can be done nowadays with the help of the new technologies that facilitate us the presentation of scientific and accurate information in a more “friendly” manner. The output can be easily used for didactic purposes both in museums and in schools and can also be posted on the internet, and thus accessed by anyone interested in the subject.
