Latest developments in rock art recording: towards an integral documentation of Levantine rock art sites combining 2D and 3D recording techniques

► The potential of combining 2D and 3D rock art recording techniques is explored. ► 2D tracings are useful to identify faded motifs or complex superimpositions. ► However, 2D digital recordings lack metric accuracy when reproducing compositions. ► 3D models provide accurate metric reproductions but faded motifs are invisible. ► Combining 2D and 3D digital recordings we obtain highly precise integral reproductions.
